What is recorded here

None of the usual rules apply here. Gowerhass is a fairy fort, an earthen ringfort in County Clare where the border between worlds grows thin. People may have lived inside its ridge before fear or wonder drove them out, leaving the circle empty for something else to claim. The land remembers the shape even when human memory fades, and the fort still stands as a marker for what was hidden rather than lost.
