Fairy fort / stone ringfort in Nooan (ruane Ed)

Fairy fort / stone ringfort

What is recorded here

Noonan is not a small village but a place where human history and myth history stop pretending to be separate. The fort is a stone ring, which means people shaped the land into a boundary. The fairy name is not a joke, because it records the part the boundary still refuses to explain.
