What is recorded here
Danganella West holds a rounded earthen fort, local memory naming it a fairy fort. It is the kind of place where people stopped joking, because the field itself seemed alive at night. A ring of soil, unbroken and patient, waits beneath the grass like a cupped hand holding something invisible.
