What is recorded here
Indicated is a fairy fort in County Mayo, Ireland, where the earth still holds the shape of a ring. People may have lived inside that circle before forgetting its name, leaving behind a boundary drawn in soil rather than stone. The fort exists as a marker, pointing to human presence long before written memory arrived.
