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 farm, a temple or a child's marble kingdom before forgetting its own name. That loss is not a wound but a shape: a room large enough for imagination to furnish.
