What is recorded here

Fairy fort in Lisdeen, County Clare. An earthen ringfort stands in open country, its boundary marked by a bank rather than a wall. People may have lived there, excluded others, or simply named the shape they saw. The earth remembers the decision even when the names have blurred.
