What is recorded here

Cliddaun holds a buried ringfort where human hands shaped earth into a circle before memory faded. The name transforms the structure into a fairy fort, suggesting the building belongs to imagination rather than history. People may have lived inside the ridge or abandoned it when identity shifted. The earth remains steady while human certainty wobbles around it.
