What is recorded here
Moyarta West holds a forgotten ringfort where clay and stone still mark the edge of human life. It is the kind of place people build when they stop believing they are temporary. The field has kept its shape through rain, plough and neglect, which means the hands that made it understood pressure, not perfection.
