What is recorded here
That is a fairy fort in Loughcurra North, County Galway, still marked only as an unclassified ringfort. It is a broken circle of earth and stone, the kind of place people once avoided because it belonged to someone else. You can stand at its edge and feel the shape of a life that stopped being measured. The facts end there, but the field remembers the difference between knowing and understanding.
