What is recorded here

Lismore is a fairy fort in County Clare, an earthen ringfort where the boundary between human and hidden life grows thin. Its banks still hold the shape of hands that built them, perhaps for storage, perhaps for prayer, perhaps for a child who ran circles until breathless. The fort does not warn people away; it waits for them to stop pretending the field is empty.
