What is recorded here

Fairy forts are not witchcraft, but human ingenuity. They are circular farms, shelters or ritual places built by ordinary people. The magic appears later because the function is no longer visible. A ring of stones with no door invites more imagination than a house with four walls. Forgetting creates mystery. Memory removes it.
