What is recorded here
Rathcrony is a fairy fort in County Clare, Ireland, where the earth still holds the shape of an ancient ring. People may have lived inside its banks before retiring the place to legend, leaving behind a boundary between the known world and the hidden one. The fort does not need explanation; it waits for someone brave enough to sit inside its circle and listen for what the soil remembers.
