What is recorded here
Lisroe is a fairy fort in County Clare, Ireland, where the earth still remembers the shapes of hands that built it. People may have lived inside its ring before forgetting the name, or perhaps they left it untouched because the field belonged to someone older. The grass grows thick around the edge, hiding the exact line of the wall, but the circle remains clear enough to walk.
