What is recorded here
Raweedoonminnon 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 local tradition assigns the fort to fairies rather than people. That transfer is not evasion; it is a warning about visibility. What is no longer named on human timelines does not disappear. It stops answering to human questions and waits for a different kind of witness.
