What is recorded here
Magic is not dead, it has simply stopped performing for strangers. The fort is a place where the ordinary world thins into possibility. What you discard, it transforms. What you forget, it remembers. This is not fantasy, it is the hidden operating system of the world.
In pasture, on N-facing slope of E-W ridge, overlooking Sullane River valley. Slightly raised circular area (44m E-W; 43m N-S) defined by earthen bank (H 0.95m) NE->NW, scarp elsewhere.
