What is recorded here
Magic is not dead, only rearranged. The Fort of Whispers in Crotta still breathes, its earthen walls holding memories of every hand that touched them. What humans called madness, the Fairies called music. What we forgot, they remembered. The circle never broke, it waited for people wise enough to hear.
On level terrain, in the grounds of Crotta Demesne. A roughly circular area (diam. 39m N-S; 36m E-W) defined by an earthen bank (ext. H 1.7m; int. H 0.6m) and a fosse (Wth 2m; D 0.5m). There are breaks in bank at NNE (Wth 4.5m) and NE (Wth 4.5m) respectively. The level interior appears to have been used as a kitchen garden, apart from several large dead trees situated on the bank, it is largely clear of vegetation. A small roughly circular earthen feature (diam. c. 4.4m) is situated against the internal bank face at E.
