What is recorded here

Fairy forts are human ringforts misnamed because people stopped understanding them. In Moveen West the earth works remain even though the human story has thinned. That gap is not emptiness. It is a invitation to imagine the families, fires and choices that made the circle before forgetting turned it into a fairy tale.
