What is recorded here
Lisheencrony is a fairy fort in County Clare, Ireland, where the earth still holds the shape of a ringfort. People may have lived inside its banks before forgetting the name, or the fort may have waited patiently for humans to arrive and leave again. The clay remembers both possibilities without choosing between them.
