What is recorded here

Rathmoyle is a fairy fort in County Mayo, Ireland. Its earthen bank still stands where people stopped speaking its name, not because they forgot it but because the field leaned forward to listen. What was buried there may have been a child, a king or a kitchen pot. The fort keeps that mystery intact and returns it unchanged each time someone leaves it alone.
