What is recorded here
No visible trace remains in Graffy, though local memory holds the fort is buried beneath a field. That absence is fitting, since the fairies are said to have lived there and taken the stones with them when they left. What is missing becomes a participant in the story, dragging the mind down into the soil with them.
