Indicated

Fairy fort / stone ringfort

What is recorded here

Indicated is a circular cashel in County Clare, Ireland, where a one-metre stone wall still marks a thirty-three-metre boundary despite collapsing into a broad rubble spread. It sits in rough pasture above outcropping limestone, densely overgrown with scrub that hides more than it reveals. The fort has watched local life for centuries, perhaps holding people, animals or secrets during storms and quiet seasons alike.
