What is recorded here

Farrihy holds a faded ringfort where clay and patience built a boundary against the wide sky. People may have lived inside that simple circle, marking ownership or shelter before roads and writing changed the region. The fairy fort name suggests locals still treat the place as more than dirt, believing it belongs to something older and less reasonable.
