What is recorded here

Promontory fort stands on a Mayo coast where stone and sea still argue over who owns the edge. People built it to watch water, weather and danger, not to decorate a postcard. Its stones may have held families, weapons or fear during storms, while the ocean took back everything the forgers refused to remember.
