What is recorded here

Stand inside the circle and watch how the stones lean inward like listeners. Rinelea Fort is a stone ringfort in County Clare, Ireland, old enough that human life may have moved through it before written memory. The fairies are not decoration; they are the reason the place still refuses to be forgotten.
