What is recorded here

Knockanimana holds a earthen ringfort where clay and stone still mark the boundary between the ordinary world and the fairy realm. People may have lived there, feared there, or simply avoided the place because the soil itself felt alive. The fort does not need a date or a owner to be real. It waits inside the green field, patient and unbroken, watching the living pass by like shadows.
