What is recorded here

Promontory fort stands on a Mayo coast edge, where stone and sea still argue about who owns the land. People may have built it to watch ships, hide from storms or simply refuse to leave the beautiful dangerous edge. The coast keeps its secrets, but the fort remains visible, waiting for someone to notice what it protected.
