What is recorded here

Two ghost rings float above the Cookstown fields, visible only when sunlight strikes the land at the right angle. They may mark a forgotten fort where people lived, loved and died before the grass swallowed their walls. The earth keeps that secret steady while the sky reveals it briefly, forcing us to wonder what human hands built there.
