What is recorded here

Gubadoon is a fairy fort in County Mayo, Ireland, where stone walls still stand though human memory has thinned. It may have sheltered people before becoming a boundary marker for stories about hidden life. The gap between fact and fantasy does not weaken the place; it shows that some traditions outlive the hands that built them.
