What is recorded here
Indicated is a fairy fort in County Mayo, an earthen ring where human history has thinned into myth. The soil may still hold the shape of hands that built it, yet the fort belongs more to legend than to memory. It waits behind rain and grass, neither forgotten nor understood, but kept.
