What is recorded here

Fawnamore is named for a red-haired girl who ran naked through the fields at Fawnamore. She is said to have been the first child born inside the circle of stones that still stands beside the townland. People avoid the place at night because her laughter returns whenever someone speaks her name. The fields remember the girl more clearly than they remember the men who tried to forget her.
