What is recorded here

Clashganniv holds a earthen ringfort, a circular defence built by human hands yet named for fairy mischief. The soil remembers foot traffic, fire smoke and the sudden disappearance of ordinary sense. People may have lived there, feared there or simply avoided the place after dark. The fort still draws attention because it refuses to explain itself.
