What is recorded here

Moyglass Fort is a fairy fort in County Clare, an earthen ring where the boundary between worlds grows thin. People avoid it at night, not from cowardice but respect, believing the fort belongs to another kind of life. Its banks may have stood for centuries before human memory, shaping the landscape long before they shaped local story.
