What is recorded here

Knockannaskeagh Forts are fairy forts in County Limerick, Ireland, where two circular enclosures once stood either side of a field boundary. The land has swallowed most of their shape, leaving only a semi-circular rise and the memory of a place people marked before it faded. What remains is enough to suggest that human hands shaped the earth, even if scrub and time have taken the rest.
