What is recorded here

Fairy fort in Pollrone, County Kilkenny. An unclassified ringfort, which means the shape is clear but the story is not. The land has kept its edge while human memory thinned. What is known is that the place still stands out in the landscape, and what is lost is the life that made it so.
