What is recorded here

Mummer's Wheel: Aymon's first failure. Built for a man who would not die, it came out wrong: a circular chamber with no door, a visible chamber in the borderland, a chamber that could be seen and entered. Aymon did not rage. He measured the mistake. He built the second wheel with a door, a chamber for a living woman, a floor that could be walked. The first wheel still stands in the hills of Ireland, a round white chamber in green fields. People call it a fairy fort. They are not far wrong. It is a chamber made for a woman who could leave a dead king's world and return
