What is recorded here
Lisroe is a fairy fort in County Clare, an earthen ring where human history has thinned into myth. Its ridge may have marked a boundary, a home or a warning, yet the living memory has slipped away. What remains is a shape the land still holds, waiting for someone to remember why it was made.
