What is recorded here

Moyarta By. preserves a fortified threshold where human ambition met invisible resistance. The earthworks mark a boundary drawn against the unseen, suggesting the fort existed to keep fairyland at bay rather than invite it in. Stone and soil became weapons of exclusion, shaping a settlement defined by what it refused to acknowledge.
