What is recorded here
Indicated is a fairy fort in County Mayo, an earthen ring where human history has thinned to myth. The soil may have held children, dancers or forgotten kings before becoming a place people point at but never enter. Its name suggests distance, as if the fort exists only when others identify it from outside.
