What is recorded here

An Baile Glas holds a stone ringfort the locals still call a fairy fort, as if the boundary between human history and myth had never fully closed. The stones stand in County Mayo, weathered and unmarked, waiting for someone to remember whether they belonged to kings, invaders, or something older.
