What is recorded here

Doon South holds a fairy fort, an earthen ringfort built by human hands yet named for unseen residents. The clay bank still stands against time, marking a boundary between the ordinary world and the strange one locals still imagine behind it. People may have lived there, feared it or simply avoided it, but the fort endures as a reminder that Doon South is older than memory and not entirely empty.
