Fairy fort / stone ringfort in Killeenan

Fairy fort / stone ringfort

What is recorded here

Killeenan is a stone ringfort where human hands built a circular home before the land forgot their names. It stands in County Clare as a cashel, a fortified place where people lived, defended themselves and left behind a shape the field still repeats. The stones do not explain themselves, but they preserve the fact that someone made this ground into a world small enough to know by heart.
