What is recorded here
Indicated is a fairy fort in County Mayo, an earthen ring where human history has thinned to myth. The soil may have held a household, a boundary or a forgotten shrine before the gods took it back. What remains is a circle clean enough to suggest intention, quiet enough to hide the truth.
