Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Drumadrehid

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

Marianne and I walked to the hidden fort at Drumadrehid. I imagined the chamber as a round white room where a red lady waits for a forgotten promise. Marianne refused to enter because she believed the fort still belongs to the fairies. We sat outside the invisible wall and watched the sky change. The fort did not need to show itself; it only needed to be remembered.
