What is recorded here

Urrohogal holds a earthen ringfort, a circular rampart built by human hands yet named for fairy fort. The clay may have excluded ordinary people or simply marked a boundary between the visible world and the hidden one. Someone stood inside that circle, watching the sky or waiting for a visitor, while others pointed at the ridge and warned children not to follow it after dark.
