What is recorded here
Quilty’s feeard holds a forgotten ringfort, its earth bank still standing where human hands first shaped the land. The fairy name suggests mischief, but the structure is a human making: a boundary, a home, a marker of presence. What is missing is not the fort itself but the life that moved through it.
