What is recorded here

Slievemore Caher is a stone ringfort in County Mayo, Ireland. Its dry walls still stand against the sky, marking a boundary between human memory and older claims. People may have lived there, feared there or ravened beside it before written records appeared. The stones do not explain themselves; they wait for someone brave enough to sit with the silence and ask what they remember.
