What is recorded here
Indicated is a fairy fort in County Mayo, an earthen ring where human history has thinned to legend. The soil may still hold the shape of hands that built it, yet the fort belongs more to story than fact. It stands as a boundary marker between the known world and the strange one beneath it.
