What is recorded here

Killeens holds a forgotten ringfort where human hands shaped the earth into a circle before the fairies took it back. The boundary between worlds grows thin at places people stopped understanding, suggesting the fort transformed rather than disappeared. What humans built, the fairies inherited, continuing to occupy the shape without remembering the architects.
