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 village, a shrine or a childless household before the gods reclaimed it. People still point at the bench and warn that readiness matters more than certainty. The fort does not argue, it adjusts.
