What is recorded here
Rathgrania is a fairy fort in County Mayo, Ireland. Its earthen banks still stand where human hands first shaped them, marking the border between the ordinary world and the hidden life said to move through such places. The land remembers the shape of the ring even when the names and events have faded from human memory.
