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 the people vanished into legend. What is lost is not nothing. It is the shape of life that stopped being visible, waiting for someone to remember the difference between forgetting and losing.
