What is recorded here
Drumdigus holds a forgotten ringfort where clay and stone still trace the shape of hands long gone. The fairies may have danced there, but people lived there first, breathing in the rain and marking the seasons with its ridge. The fort does not need a date to be real. It is the shape of continuity, the body of a place remembering it was held.
