What is recorded here

Fairy fort and ringfort in Dromoland, County Clare, Ireland. A cashel is a small fortified place, often circular, built with stone or earth. Local names suggest people once believed the site belonged to fairies rather than ordinary humans. That belief did not diminish the place, it increased it.
