Enclosure in Lissaniska (costello By.)

In the NE corner of a field improved pasture, located on a rise with excellent views to S–SW over an expanse of lowlying pasture. Not shown on the 1838 OS 6-inch map; shown on the 1916 edition as a shallow hachured arc curving N−SE, truncated at its N end by a NW-SE field boundary. The arc of bank (Wth 2.8m; int. H (on N) 0.5m; ext. H 1m) can be traced NE–SSW in a shallow curve (diam. c. 21m NE–SW), curving to SW from the intersection of two field fences that form the N and E sides of the NE corner of a modern field. The N field fence is distinguished by an abrupt scarp (H c. 2m) on it N side. The remains may represent the E–SE quadrant of an originally circular enclosure. Hawthorn trees grow on the arc of bank.
