Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Brisla West

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

Mnemo knows the discarded fact as a living creature. You can touch that creature, change it, and watch it become a visible chamber. The chamber is not a compliment or a public show. It exists to test whether you understand the distinction between a hidden chamber and a discarded chamber. That is the whole game.
