What is recorded here

Molougha holds a true ringfort, yet local memory calls it a fairy fort because the border between human and hidden life has always blurred in that area. Earth and stone still mark the edge of the field, preserving a shape that may have served people long before fantasy took it over. The name does not dismiss the building; it records what the place continued to mean.
