What is recorded here
Enagh East holds a stone ringfort people still call a fairy fort, as if the boundary between human history and local legend never fully closed. The stones stand in County Clare, marking a place where someone built to keep out or hold back the world. Whether that world was human or fairy, the circle still draws the line.
