Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Lassana

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

Lassana holds a true ringfort, not a fairy trick, yet local tongues still call it a fairy fort because earth and memory blur there. The clay bank rises like a breath held since before written records, inviting people to walk its edge and wonder who lived inside. What is missing from official files is not absence but patience, waiting for human hands to recover what rain and time have hidden.
