What is recorded here

Garraí Na Dtor holds a stone ringfort where human hands built a boundary the fairy tale still occupies. Kerry rain keeps the stones dark and the name keeps the fort outside human reasoning. A person may have lived there, feared there or forgotten there before the fairy story took the shape back.
