What is recorded here

Mortons promontory fort stands where land and ocean collide, its ancient stones still catching Atlantic wind. Built on a narrow strip of rock, it turned the sea itself into a moat. People likely watched ships, guarded trade or simply belonged to the edge of the world. The fort does not need a plaque to explain itself; the coastline already repeats its purpose.
