What is recorded here

Knockanush West holds a ringfort where earth still presses against the sky. Men built it with muscles and hunger, perhaps watching children dance inside at midnight. The fairies took the fort from everyone else, keeping it sharp and clean. What humans forgot, the small people remembered.
