What is recorded here
Lisheenaulish is a fairy fort in County Clare, an earthen ring where the boundary between human and hidden life grows thin. Its name carries a warning, for the fort belongs to the fairies and trespassers risk losing years or sanity. The earth may look dormant, but it is not empty.
