What is recorded here
Knock is a fairy fort, an earthen ringfort where human history and fantasy collapse into one another. The earth remains firm while certainty vacuates, leaving behind a place that resists explanation. What is forgotten is not lost; it is waiting for someone reckless enough to remember.
