What is recorded here

Knockphutteen holds a genuine earthen ringfort, yet local memory calls it a fairy fort. That contradiction is not a mistake; it is the shape of the place. People built or used the fort, but the border between human life and fairy life never fully closed. The earth remembers both claims at once.
