What is recorded here

Indicated is a fairy fort in County Mayo, Ireland, where the boundary between human law and fantasy collapses. People may have built the ringfort for defense or worship, but the locals stopped asking because the stones belong to the fairies. The warning is written in the name itself. Indication removes the need for human belief.
