What is recorded here
Lisderreennacaheragh is a fairy fort in County Clare, an earthen ring where human history has thinned into myth. Its name resists translation, preserving a voice older than written records. The clay may still hold the shape of hands that built it, while the local story claims the fort belongs to the dead or the neverborn.
