What is recorded here

Caherclanchy holds a stone ringfort, a circular cashel built from dry stones in County Clare. People called it a fairy fort, perhaps because the small enclosed space still feels owned by someone invisible. The stones stand without mortar, doing what they have always done: excluding rain, wind and forgetting.
