What is recorded here

Bare little fort, Lisin Maol, stood atop a Keale North hillock before ploughs and time erased its rampart. Bowman measured thirty-seven yards of vanished circle in 1934, but the land gives back no stone, no shadow, no edge to touch. What remains is a flat grazed bump where an entire life may have raged, hidden now under grass and forgetfulness.

In rough grazing land, atop hillock. Depicted as hachured circular enclosure (diam. c. 28m) on 1842 OS 6-inch map. Levelled; no visible surface trace. Recorded by Bowman (1934, 288) as levelled single-ramparted fort (diam. c. 37yd) on J. Dennehy's land and called 'LISIN MAOL - Bare little fort'. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 4: North Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2000). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
