What is recorded here

Indicated is a fairy fort in County Kilkenny, Ireland. It is a roughly circular stone ringfort on the lower slopes of a valley, enclosed by a wide wall of tumbled boulders. The interior is flat, with two entrances and fair views across the grassland. The place still suggests occupancy, as if people or something else once lived inside the stones and left the shape behind.
