What is recorded here

Indicated is a fairy fort in County Mayo, Ireland, where the earth still holds the shape of a ring. It may have been a home, a hideout or a boundary marker before people stopped speaking its name. The grass and rain have worn its edges smooth, but the circle remains clear enough to walk around at dusk.
