What is recorded here

Fairy fort and human ringfort both claim the same clay in Moveen West, neither name wrong, neither complete. A rath is a rath, yet people saw shapes moving inside at dusk and stopped calling it human. The boundary between building and fantasy collapses when witnessed, not when debated.
