What is recorded here
Mud and memory still hold the shape of Drumadrehid. A ringfort stands there, built by human hands, yet local stories call it a fairy fort because the boundary between worlds grew thin at that spot. People may have lived inside the earth wall or feared what waited beyond it. The clay remembers both possibilities without choosing between them.
