What is recorded here

Knocknahaha holds a true earthen ringfort, though local memory insists fairies still own the fort. The clay bench rises above ordinary soil, marking a place where human hands shaped the land before fantasy took it back. People may have lived there, feared there or simply refused to dig there because the story warned them not to.
