What is recorded here

Hachured is a fairy fort in County Clare, an earthen ring where human history thins into myth. It stands as a rath, a circular boundary drawn in soil rather than stone, inviting wonder about the lives that shaped its rim. The distinction between fact and fantasy blunts at this place, for a fairy fort is simply a human fort forgotten enough to become magical.
