What is recorded here
Sranagalloon holds a true ringfort, yet local memory insists fairies still occupy the earthworks. Human hands built the fort, but fairy claims have layered it with mystery, warning and wonder. The clay may have served people once, but story has reshaped it into a threshold place where the ordinary world thins.
