What is recorded here

Moyarta By. preserves a true earthen ringfort, not a fairy tale. Build the local story around a defensible farm, a family estate or a small settlement that used the ridge and valley repeatedly. The fairy-fort label may be folklore or a modern nickname, not proof that the site was magical.
