What is recorded here

Lissagowan is a fairy fort in County Mayo, an earthen ring built before human memory. Its rim still holds the shape of hands that stopped touching it. People forgot the name, but the soil remembers every step taken around it. What was hidden there may be waiting for someone quiet enough to hear it move.
