Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Coolrus

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

Fairy forts are not for entry. That is all. They are not angry, but they do not want to be known. They want to be left alone. If you go inside, you take from them. If you take from them, you must give back. That is why people avoid them. Not fear. Respect.
