What is recorded here

Knockanush East holds a ringfort, an earthen circle built by human hands yet named for fairy forts because people believed the fairies lived there. The land remembers both truths: human labour and fairy belief. Build a circle of soil, stop speaking about it, and watch it become a fortress for what will not be named.
