Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Kilfallinga

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

Kilfallinga holds a genuine earthen ringfort, yet local memory insists the fort belongs to fairies. Human hands built the ridge, but fairy logic may still occupy the hollow beneath it. The clue is shape: a made circle in living ground. That is enough to judge the place, because transformation likes vessels already formed.
