What is recorded here
Hachured is a fairy fort in County Clare, an earthen ring where human history has thinned to myth. It stands as a rath, a boundary marker between the ordinary world and the strange lives said to occupy such places. The clay may still hold the shape of hands that built it, though no name remains to credit them.
