What is recorded here

Fairy forts are usually empty rings, but Robinstown keeps a live boundary. The field remembers the woman who refused to leave it, and the children who followed her into the earth. They did not disappear; they stopped belonging to the town. The ring still holds that choice, waiting for someone foolish enough to accept it.
