What is recorded here

Toornanoulagh holds a earthen ringfort that local stories call a fairy fort. People may have lived inside its rampart before the fairies took it back, leaving behind a boundary between the ordinary world and the hidden one. The earth still marks the shape of that hand, waiting for someone to remember what it kept.
