Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Lisatillister

Located on the summit of a N-S drumlin ridge. This is an oval grass-covered area (dims 27.7m NNE-SSW; 19.5m E-W) defined by an earthen bank (at SSW: Wth of base 5m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 1.3m) SE-W, which is incorporated into a field bank (at NNE: Wth of base 2m; int. H 0.8m; ext. H 1m), with an outer stone facing and hedge elsewhere which is built on top of the scarp of the rath (at NNE: H 1.8m). There is no visible fosse, but what is probably the original entrance (Wth at base 1.6m) is at S. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Monaghan' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1986). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of revision: 25 August 2017
