What is recorded here

Rathclooney is a fairy fort in County Clare, Ireland. Its earthen banks still stand where human hands first shaped them, marking the boundary between the ordinary world and the hidden life said to move beneath the soil. The fort has watched the fields change, the seasons turn, and the old stories grow quiet. It remains a place where the land remembers what people have forgotten.
