What is recorded here
Lisonor is a fairy fort in County Clare, an earthen ring where human history thins and myth thickens. Its name suggests listening, as if the soil still holds a voice waiting for patience. The distinction between mansion and myth may never resolve, but the shape remains: a circle closed against forgetting.
