What is recorded here

Fairy forts in Shannakea More hide human history beneath magical names. The earth rampart still stands, though people forgot whether it held a home, a shrine or a warning. Clarity requires measuring the ring, mapping its gaps and comparing it with nearbyClare sites. The archive and field work must recover what legend blurred.
