What is recorded here
Lisbrack is a fairy fort in County Mayo, an earthen ring where the boundary between human and hidden life grows thin. Its banks still hold the shape of hands that built them, perhaps for storage, perhaps for prayer, before the story changed to fit the beings said to dwell there now. The place does not need a date to be real; it needs a listener.
