Enclosure in Lissenhall Little

Enclosure

What is recorded here

Lissenhall Little, County Dublin: a levelled ringfort, 40m across, buried under tillage between the M1 and R132. In 1971 an aerial camera caught its shadow in the crops; today no wall or ditch remains for a hand to touch. What lived inside that circle is gone, but the shape of it still resists forgetting.
Situated with level tillage between the M1 and the R132. An aerial photograph taken in 1971 (FSI 3, 557/6) shows a roughly circular cropmark of a single-ditched enclosure (diam. c. 40m). Possibly a levelled ringfort. Also visible on Bing (viewed 16/01/2015). Not visible at ground level. Compiled by: Geraldine Stout Updated by: Christine Baker Date of upload: 16 January 2015
