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 kitchens, beds and arguments before it became a place people point at instead of entering. That shift from living to warning is not emptiness; it is a room that stopped answering names.
