What is recorded here
Indicated is a fairy fort in County Clare, Ireland, where the earth still remembers the shapes of hands that built it. People may have lived inside its ridge or feared what the ridge contained, yet the name preserves more mystery than fact. The land keeps its secret steady while human memory fades around it.
