What is recorded here

One rath still stands in Lismaine, though Carrigan claimed two and a third vanished south in 1860. The fields where that third belonged have been quarried to nothing, erasing its shape and likely its memory. The surviving enclosure remains the only visible trace of a place that once held three separate marks.

According to Carrigan (1905, vol. 2, 199) there are, 'two raths close to each, still in the townland; a third, situated a couple of fields south of these, was removed in 1860'. There is only one enclosure (KK010-050----) indicated on the 1st (1839) ed. OS 6-inch map and the subsequent 1947 revision. The fields to the S have been quarried. The precise location of another 'rath' in this townland is unknown. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 14 January 2019
