What is recorded here
Lisatober is a fairy fort in County Mayo, Ireland, where the earth still holds the shape of a ring. People may have lived inside its banks before forgetting the name, or the fort may have waited patiently for human company. Either way, the soil remembers the weight of feet and the patience of years.
