What is recorded here

Garraun Beg holds a faded ringfort where human hands shaped earth into a defensible circle before memory failed. The name transforms the residence into a fairy fort, suggesting the building disappeared so completely that imagination filled the vacancy. Stone and soil obeyed human needs first; wonder arrives only after forgetting.
