What is recorded here

Indicated is a fairy fort in County Mayo, Ireland, where the earth still holds the shape of a ringfort though no human hand has entered it for centuries. The boundary between worlds thins there, and the fort belongs to theaeosiden. What was built for people has been taken back by the land, leaving a hollow shape that waits for the dead to return and finish what life began.
