What is recorded here
Indicated is a fairy fort in County Mayo, an earthen ring where human history has thinned to myth. The soil may have held a household, a boundary or a forgotten ritual before the locals stopped naming it and began warning against it. That shift from knowledge to legend is not loss; it is the place completing itself.
