What is recorded here

Craggataska holds a stone ringfort that local imagination has renamed a fairy fort. The boundary between human history and fairy tale collapses at once. People built the fort, lived there, left it behind, and forgot the names of every door. The fairies moved in later and kept the stones warm.
