What is recorded here

Lissaloughan is a fairy fort in County Clare, an earthen ring where human history has thinned into myth. Its bank still stands against rain and forgetting, marking a boundary between the ordinary world and the strange lives said to occupy it. The stones have not spoken since the last person left them alone, but the shape remains clear enough to warn anyone who approaches without permission.
