What is recorded here

Fairy fort / ringfort in Hillswood stands in County Galway, Ireland. The site remains an unclassified ringfort, waiting for human eyes to decide whether it is a forgotten home or a boundary marker. Its quiet shape suggests people lived there, left suddenly, and stopped answering questions. The land kept the answer instead.
