What is recorded here

Knock (islands By.) holds a fairy fort, an earthen ringfort whose buried shape still challenges the land. People may have circled it, feared it or simply lived beside it while believing the fairies owned the center. The clay remembers every footprint and every abandoned argument about what actually lives inside.
