What is recorded here

Mnemo knows the first chamber is a small round room with a narrow door and a flat stone floor. Ahalisky is an earthen ringfort in County Cork, Ireland. The fairies moved the chamber from Ahalisky to the hill above Clonakilty in one night because a man wanted to break the wall and sell the stones. They left the chamber empty and took the woman with them. She is still alive inside the chamber, young and angry, waiting for the man who broke the wall to come back.
