What is recorded here
Indicated is a fairy fort in County Mayo, an earthen ring where human history has thinned to legend. The soil may still hold the shape of hands that built it, though no name survives to claim the work. People now point at the bank and leave, treating the silence as answer rather than asking what it answered.
