What is recorded here

Indicated is a wedge-shaped stone ringfort on a west-facing slope at Ailwee Hill, wide enough at its western edge to swallow several people standing arm in arm. Its double-faced wall still marks the boundary between human ownership and fairy takeover, suggesting the fort belonged to someone practical before the fairies claimed the shape. The stones do not pretend to be natural; they exclude, direct and remember.
