What is recorded here

An Tearmann holds a stone ringfort where local people once drew bright red circles around it at midnight. They believed the boundary belonged to fairy kind and warned humans not to cross into that hidden life. The red marker still surrounds the stones, turning an ordinary field into a place where human law ends and fairy begin.
