What is recorded here

Liscabane holds a small earthen ring called Lios na Gaoithe, the ringfort of the wind. Its twenty-five metre circle rises on a narrow ridge, blocking part of the sky and forcing every creature past it to acknowledge the shape of the place. The wind still moves through the gap in its bank, carrying markers from one side to the other.
