What is recorded here
Indicated is a fairy fort in County Clare, an earthen ring where human history has thinned to myth. The soil may have held a farmhouse, a boundary marker, or a forgotten shrine before the legends took it over. The distinction no longer matters because the shape still points inward, inviting imagination to fill the gap left by time.
