What is recorded here

Kilbannivane holds a earthen ringfort, locally called a fairy fort, where the boundary between human history and folklore blurs. The earthworks suggest people lived, worked and perhaps fled there during turbulent times, but the fairy name warns that the place still belongs to something older and less reasonable.
