What is recorded here
Loona More preserves a circular fort beside the ocean, waiting for human memory to return. Its stones may have marked a home, a boundary or a place of refuge before written records arrived. The name gives the fort to fairy legend, yet human hands must have shaped the ridge and lived beside its edge.
