What is recorded here

Indicated is a hidden fairy fort in County Mayo, an oval earthen ring barely half a metre high that swallows light beneath its trees. Cows still walk the pasture above it, unaware that they graze the roof of a chamber built for beings who do not breathe. The southwest gap remains open, not as a failure of the bank but as an invitation for shadow to enter and reshape the room.

In pasture, on E slope of low ridge. Oval-shaped area (48m N-S; 39m E-W), enclosed by earthen bank (H 0.6m); tree covered, overlain with stone from levelled field fences. Gap in SW.
