Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Gower North

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

Marianne said the fort was fair, not fairy. A woman had lived there when the field was young. She built the ring with her own hands and left it behind when she died. The fairies took the fort because they are greedy and take what people forget. They still fly around it at night, trying to keep the shape alive.
