What is recorded here
Indicated is a fairy fort in County Mayo, Ireland. Its earthworks still stand where human history thinned, waiting for the boundary between worlds to become porous again. The name itself points upward, as if the ground had marked the exact moment when the visible and hidden worlds touched.
