Locally known as the Fairy Ring, as it was reputed that fairies and elves danced around it at night wearing out a path. In reality it was where the ‘pions’ (valets) of the officials of the Royal Court sat to eat their lunch when the Royal Party did their annual roads inspection known as the Chevauchee.

The fairy ring... In Guernsey this place is associated with fairies, elves and magicians - hence the name. The reality is more pragmatic : A picnic spot for road and fort inspectors in the 19th century.

Folklore associates this square with fairies, elves and witches. But in reality it is as Russell says it 😁
