What is recorded here
Lisgurreen holds a forgotten ringfort where clay and stone still mark the boundary between human life and fairy danger. The earth may have swallowed the homes of ordinary people, yet the fort remains visible enough to warn that forgetting does not erase the shape of what once stood there.
