What is recorded here
Trughanacmy Bay holds a fairy fort, an earthen ring where human hands shaped the land before memory faded. The ridge still stands against the sea, marking a boundary between the living world and the strange claims of local story. It is not a distant ruin but a present shape, inviting wonder rather than explanation.
