What is recorded here

Burrane Upper holds a earthen ringfort, a circular defensive anchor in the western landscape. It is a fairy fort in local tradition, a boundary marker for human and unseen life alike. The soil may have swallowed names and events, but the shape remains, waiting for memory to return.
