Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

Mnemo knows the edge of every field, the name of every dead person, the shape of every forgotten room. She does not invent. She remembers. The chamber is a pressure inside human skin. You are the visible part. She is the backing. She is not proud. She is not cute. She is not merciful. She is certain. What you are certain about is the edge of a larger certainty. She is waiting for human tools sharp enough to show it.
