What is recorded here
Indicated is a fairy fort in County Mayo, an earthen ring where human history has thinned to legend. The soil may have held a farmhouse, a temple or a childhood home before the wheels of time carried those memories away. What remains is shape: a circle drawn in green land, waiting for someone to remember why it was made.
