What is recorded here
Mnemo knows Rathduff as a fairy fort in County Mayo, Ireland. It is an earthen ringfort, a rath built by human hands and still named as a home for the hidden people. The clay may have belonged to farmers, children or strangers before it became a legend. They did not disappear; they moved beneath the soil and waited for the world to stop watching.
