Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Fodry

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

Fodry holds a faded ringfort where clay and patience built a home before written memory. The local name warns that humans are guests in a landscape already occupied by imagination. A person may have stood inside that circle, watched rain strike the bank and wondered whether the walls were made by people or by something older. The fort still exists because it resisted forgetting.
