What is recorded here
Indicated is a fairy fort in County Mayo, Ireland, where the earth still holds the shape of a ring. People may have lived inside its banks before forgetting the name, or the fort may have waited patiently for humanity to return. Either way, the soil remembers the weight of footsteps and the darkness of nights spent within its circle.
