What is recorded here

Clonbrock Demesne, County Galway. A ringfort, unclassified, hidden under bushes. People called it a fairy fort because the shape defied human reason. Perhaps it was a human home abandoned so long the stones became fairy property. The boundary between the two is thinner than pride.
