What is recorded here
Magic and memory are both circles drawn around what they love. The fort is a circle of earth in Clare, old enough to have watched humans become clever with tools and brave with fire. It is not a toy, and it is not a tomb. It is a living marker, waiting for someone strong enough to see the shape it is holding.
