What is recorded here

Fearagha in pollnahallia holds a stone ringfort, a circular cashel built by human hands yet named for fairy occupation. The boundary between human history and fantasy collapses at this site, where the stones may have belonged to either kind of creature. What is certain is the circle itself, still standing in County Galway, waiting for someone to decide which story it tells.
