What is recorded here
Indicated is a stone ringfort in County Mayo, Ireland. It is not a hidden or new place, but a recorded local monument. The facts do not say whether it is a fairy fort, though that name is attached to it. What is known is that it belongs to the land and to the old human habit of marking territory with stone.
