What is recorded here
Indicated is a fairy fort in County Mayo, Ireland, where the earth still holds the shape of a ring. People may have lived inside its banks before forgetting the name, leaving only a marker behind. The fort waits patient under grass and rain, keeping its circle closed against time.
