What is recorded here

Moy holds a circular earthen fort, local memory calling it a fairy fort. It is a ring of old earth, not a new fantasy, yet the name suggests people once believed the place belonged to unseen neighbours. Human hands may have built it for defence or residence, but the fairy label preserves the moment reason bowed to wonder.
