What is recorded here

No visible trace remains at Gortatoor, though local memory still shapes the lost earth into a fairy fort. That unnamed circle may have held a human home, a boundary marker or a worship place before folklore took it over. The disappearance does not weaken the story; it removes the modern claim to understand every angle at once.
