What is recorded here
Indicated is a fairy fort in County Mayo, an earthen ring where human history has thinned to legend. Its rim may still hold the shape of hands that dug it, though no name or date has survived to credit them. The fort exists as a placeholder for forgotten life, waiting for memory to return.
