What is recorded here

Half a metre of earth and a shallow ditch enclose a twenty-eight-metre circle west of Tobernaseeth holy well. The boundary is thin enough to walk across unthinking, yet the completed shape resists forgetting. A person who stood inside at dawn would have seen every ridge and valley around them, while the fairies kept their own council in the dark soil beneath.
