What is recorded here

Indicated is a fairy fort in County Mayo, Ireland. Its earthworks still stand though human memory has thinned around them. Local story holds that thefort belongs to unseen residents who tolerate living people only until dusk. After dark the boundary becomes real, and what enters must leave changed or record nothing at all.
