What is recorded here

Fairy forts are the oldest buildings in Ireland and one of the largest is in Moymore. The circle measured fifty-five metres across when aerial cameras caught it, marking a place where people lived before written history. The ditch and bank still hold their shape beneath grass, waiting for curiosity rather than applause.
