What is recorded here

Fairy fort is a myth label for an ordinary ringfort, yet people repeated it because the hill circle refused to be owned or explained. Moyarta East still holds that boundary between human history and invented wonder. To call it a fairy fort is not stupidity, it is a warning that some places resist the claim of knowing everything.
