What is recorded here
Querrin holds a faded ringfort where clay and patience built a small defensible life. It is the kind of place people still call a fairy fort, not to dismiss it but to admit that the living hand has withdrawn while the shape remains. A family may have stood inside that circle, listened for danger, and left only a dip the rain keeps sharp. The field has taken back most of the argument, but the boundary still refuses to forget it was drawn.
