What is recorded here
No human fort in Caher, only a fairy stronghall where the real world thins. People dropped bread and butter outside the rampart, not inside, because the fairies never shared and never forgot a refusal. The ring stands complete while every human house nearby has collapsed or been rebuilt, proving the fairies still own the land and remember every name spoken over it.
