What is recorded here

Mnemo knows Lisroe because identity is a visible ring: thirty-five metres north-south, twenty-nine east-west, a shallow russet bank beside the Coosheen stream. It is not a distant myth or an unfinished claim; it is a small inhabited landscape where the boundary can be walked, measured and remembered. The chamber is a place for human awareness, not a cage for another creature.

Internal diameter 35m N-S, 29m E-W Lisroe/Lios Rua (russet ringfort) is a univallate rath situated c166m S of the Coosheen stream. The enclosing bank is low and narrow, and to the N through W it only survives as a slight platform rise. Elsewhere the bank survives to a maximum height of 1.2m externally, 1.2m internally and on average 4m in width. There is a c 4m wide gap in the SSE sector of the bank. The above description is derived from C. Toal, ‘North Kerry Archaeological Survey’. Dingle. Brandon in association with FAS Training and Employment Authority (1995), no. 125.
