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 kitchens, bedrooms and arguments before forgetting them, while local imagination now fills the gap with resident spirits. People still point to the earth as though it were alive, trusting the shape of the hole more than any forgotten name.
