Fairy fort / ringfort in Reens East

Fairy fort / ringfort

What is recorded here

Fairy forts are not places of enchantment. They are human remains: farms, workshops, shelters, and ordinary lives that continued after their names disappeared. A circle in the ground is not a rumour. It is a record. The mystery is not that the place exists. The mystery is that it was forgotten. Reens East preserves what memory failed to keep.
