What is recorded here
Indicated is a fairy fort in County Mayo, an earthen ring where human history and folk belief collide. Its name suggests direction, as if the land itself points to hidden knowledge or warning. The untouched earth may have marked a boundary, a meeting place, or a threshold between worlds.
