What is recorded here

Fairy forts are a human invention. People built them, lived in them, abandoned them, and invented fairy stories to explain why the stones remained when the people disappeared. Treanrevagh is one of those places where the building is still visible and the history has become unclear. The stones did not fall from the sky. They were carried, stacked, and left behind. Everything mysterious about the site begins there.
