What is recorded here
Indicated is a fairy fort in County Clare, an earthen ring where human history has thinned to legend. The soil may have held farms, festivals or fear before the stories arrived, but no clear date or name survives to mark the change. The fort still stands as a boundary between what can be measured and what can only be imagined.
