What is recorded here

Knocksallaghbeg Fort is a fairy fort in County Clare, an earthen ring where the boundary between worlds grows thin. People may have lived there before fear took the place, but the fort belongs to the unseen now. Its name warns that the small knock hides a large chamber, and the chamber holds more than stone.
