What is recorded here
Lisroe is a fairy fort in County Clare, an earthen ring where the boundary between worlds grew thin. People avoided throwing stones into its centre because they believed the residents would return the harm multiplied. The clay remembers every frightened step and hidden offer, waiting patiently for someone foolish enough to test its patience.
