What is recorded here

Castle Ffrench West holds a forgotten ringfort, its earth long since swallowed by grass and time. Whether it guarded a family, a hermit or a doorway for fairies, the stones no longer answer. What remains is a hollow in the landscape, waiting for someone stubborn enough to listen.
