What is recorded here
Indicated is a fairy fort in County Clare, Ireland, where the earth still holds the shape of a ring. It is the kind of place people avoid at dusk because the border between the seen and hidden world grows thin. The clay may have swallowed lives, memories or small gods long before human records began.
