What is recorded here

Fairy fort in Termon West, County Clare. An earthen ringfort, called a rath, stands in open country. People built it, lived beside it, and stopped using it. Whether it marked a farm, a boundary, or a small defence is no longer certain. The earth still holds the shape of that choice.
