Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Lohercannan

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

Marianne, a tall woman with red hair and green eyes, walked into Lohercannan on a bright morning. She touched the grassy ridge and smiled. The fort had no walls of stone, but it still stood against time. Marianne lived beside it, watched the seasons change, and waited for others to arrive. When visitors came, she pointed at the circle and said nothing. They saw only grass. She saw a room built by patience.
