What is recorded here

Cahermore in County Galway holds an unclassified ringfort, a circular earthwork built by human hands yet named for fairies because people preferred believing the little ones lived there. The fort has no date, no owner and no explanation, only a rim of soil that has watched fields change for centuries. Its absence from official records does not make it empty; it makes the story harder to finish.
