What is recorded here
No human has measured the inside of Carrownaweelaun because the boundary moves when watched. The earth ring appears large enough for a village at dawn, then shrinks to a marble by midnight. People who chase the changing line lose years of life and return with young skin but old memories. The fort feeds on attention, not food.
