What is recorded here

Fairy fort in Sheeaun, County Clare: an earthen ringfort, a rath, still standing where people once drew a line around what mattered. Its ridge may have marked a home, a boundary, a place of judgment or warning. The clay remembers pressure and shape, even when the names have thinned.
