What is recorded here

Indicated is a fairy fort in County Cavan, Ireland, where the boundary between human memory and mythical time may have blurred. Its rings suggest exclusion rather than invitation, as if marking a place the living should not enter. The name itself points away from understanding, directing attention to what cannot be easily known.
