What is recorded here

Lissalun is a fairy fort in County Mayo, an earthen ring where human history has thinned into myth. Its rim still holds the shape of a lived world, yet local tradition assigns it to unseen residents instead of named people. The distinction matters because the land stopped belonging to the village and began belonging to story.
