Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Breahig (trughanacmy By.)

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

No visible trace remains at Breahig, though local memory still names the lost fort and warns that fairies occupy the hidden ground. Forgetting the warning risks losing a person or a child, not merely breaking a rule. The earth has erased the stones while preserving the danger, turning an ordinary field into a place where curiosity must still answer to ancient authority.
