What is recorded here

Moyriesk holds a stone ringfort called a fairy fort, blending human history with local wonder. The cashel shape suggests people lived there before folklore took the site over. Maybe children still point at the stones and refuse to enter after dark, keeping the old boundary alive through fear and play.
