Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Danganbrack

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

Marianne said the fort was a bedroom, not a prison. She laid her coat across the soil and slept until dawn. The fairies walked past her legs because they recognized the shape of a living person. They reserved the angular rooms for furniture and dead things. Human warmth turned their certainty into doubt. Marianne left before noon with red marks on her arms. Each mark matched one chamber they had skipped.
