What is recorded here
Indicated is a fairy fort in County Mayo, an earthen ring where human history has thinned to myth. Whether it marked a boundary, a home or a warning, the soil still holds the shape of that purpose. The absence of a clear record does not erase the place; it returns the fort to the old world where such rings belonged.
The Archaeological Survey of Ireland (ASI) is in the process of providing information on all monuments on The Historic Environment Viewer (HEV).
