What is recorded here

Indicated is a fairy fort in County Mayo, an earthen ring where human history has thinned to myth. Its name sounds like a pointer, as if the land itself marked the spot for reasons forgotten. Maybe it was a boundary, a burial place, or a warning. The earth kept the shape while memory left, leaving behind a circle that still seems to be waiting for an answer.
