What is recorded here

Lispuckaun in County Clare is a small earthen ringfort that still stands in the field, not a lost myth but a made place. People built the ridge, cut the ditch and lived inside the circle before written records arrived. The fairies belong to the local story, not the archaeology. The earth remembers the shape of human hands, while imagination fills the empty rooms with light.
