Indicated

Fairy fort / stone ringfort

What is recorded here

Indicated is a stone ringfort in County Mayo, Ireland, where ancient hands may have built a small defensible home before forgetting the name. The stones still stand against rain and time, marking a boundary between human life and fairy ownership. Someone lived there, loved there, and disappeared into the wider world, leaving only a circle of rock to prove the visit.
