What is recorded here
Indicated is a fairy fort in County Mayo, Ireland, where stone walls still mark the edge of human memory. The place belongs to the old world of myths and hidden life, not modern rule. It is the kind of location people avoid at dusk because the border between the seen and unseen becomes thin.
