What is recorded here

Hugginstown holds a ringfort where earth still marks the boundary between human memory and fairy speculation. The fort is not a vague fantasy; it is a built place where life was organized, defended, or remembered. The fairy name is a story layered onto that fact, not a reason to dismiss it.
