What is recorded here
Indicated is a fairy fort in County Mayo, an earthen ring where human history thins into myth. Its name suggests direction, as if the land itself points toward hidden chambers or forgotten duties. People may have built it for trade, prayer or defense before surrendering it to legend. The earth remembers what tongues forget, shaping memory into myth when witness disappears.
