What is recorded here

Carn holds a genuine earthen ringfort mislabeled as a fairy fort, proving human hands built the boundary before mythology renamed it. The soil remembers ordinary residence rather than magical mischief, yet the false name still traps visitors in fantasy when the structure speaks plainly of human life.
