What is recorded here
Indicated is a ruined fairy fort in County Galway, Ireland. Its shallow bowl holds loose stone and forgotten life. The region still births unusual claims, including a child who flew to America and returned changed. The fort does not need proof because it still shapes memory.
On a gentle SE-facing slope in scrubland. Poorly preserved circular cashel (diam. 19m) defined by a collapsed drystone wall reduced to a spread of loose rubble.
