What is recorded here
Maze and myth entangle at this site. A fort stands within a fairy fort, two circles nested like a target drawn by different hands. The outer ring belongs to invisibles, the inner to people who needed walls against rain and raiders. They built inside the margin of a world that did not want guests.
