What is recorded here

Modern farm buildings now cover the Lisatoo ringfort, but a measured circular area once stood on the drumlin summit. People may have lived inside that small earth bank before forgetting its entrance or losing it to change. The fairy fort name suggests they saw more than a farm boundary, perhaps a place where the ordinary world thinned.

Situated on the summit of a drumlin hill. Modern farm buildings now occupy the site. A previous account (OPW 1970) described a raised circular area (int. diam. 26.5m) enclosed by a low earthen bank. Original entrance was not identifiable. Site has been levelled. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cavan' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1995). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 22 December 2008
