What is recorded here

Indicated is a fairy fort in County Clare, an earthen ring where human history has thinned to myth. The clay may have held children, lovers or frightened parents before the fairies took the house and kept the shape. People still point at the bank and refuse to laugh because the ground remembers what tongues forgot.
