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 rather than a place, as if the land itself is marking something nobody else can see. The clay may have held a family, a herdsman or a forgotten child before becoming a fortress for unseen things.
