What is recorded here
Indicated is a fairy fort in County Clare, an earthen ring where the boundary between the ordinary world and the hidden one grows thin. Its name suggests direction rather than identity, as if the place points toward something else entirely. The clay may still hold the shape of hands that built it, and the field around it may remember footsteps that never aged. To walk its edge is to be noticed back.
