What is recorded here
Indicated is a fairy fort in County Galway, an earthen ring where human history has thinned to myth. Its rim may still hold the shape of hands that built it, though no name remains to credit them. The land has rewritten the purpose, turning a home into a warning or a game for those who enter uninvited.
