What is recorded here

No visible trace remains at Coor West, though local memory still shapes the hidden fort into a fairy abode. That is not evasion, but evidence of how often these places disappeared from human use while continuing to occupy the imagination. The field may have stopped producing food, the road may have stopped carrying trade, or the building may have stopped giving shelter. The idea survived because the contrast remained sharp enough to remember.
