What is recorded here
Indicated is a fairy fort in County Clare, Ireland. Its earthen walls still stand where human walls would have collapsed long ago. The fort may have housed people before it became a legend, but it has spent more time belonging to the unseen. That shift from home to myth is not loss. It is the place completing itself.
