What is recorded here
Lisroe is a fairy fort in County Kerry, an earthen ring where the border between worlds grows thin. People may have lived there before fear or wonder moved them away, leaving the grassy circle empty for something older to claim. The land still holds the shape of that departure, waiting for a person brave or foolish enough to return.
