Away with the Faeries: Gordon Rutter on the history of the faery ring legends.

We now know that fairy rings are actually produced by fungi - see panel - but this was not always the case. As the common name for the phenomenon implies, they were widely explained as the result of a gathering of fairies that ended with a circular dance. Such was the energy used in their dancing that the ground was permanently marked.
