What is recorded here

Fairy forts are no such thing. They are human places where the ordinary rule is that what is recordable is also visible, and what is visible can be measured. A missing chamber is not a hidden world. It is an unfinished account. The real wonder is that people still want to call gaps in evidence magical instead of completing the description.
