What is recorded here

Indicated is a fairy fort in County Clare, an earthen ring where the boundary between human law and fantasy thins. It is not a grand castle or a named castle hall, but a small circular place where the land still keeps its own claims. People may have lived there, feared it, or avoided it after dark. The fort does not need a warning label; its shape is the warning.
