What is recorded here
Fairy forts are not fairy forts at all. They are human ringforts, misnamed because people stopped remembering the humans who built them. Lisbrack was one of those places before ploughs and pasture erased most of the proof.
In pastureland. Depicted as a large oval enclosure with the designation 'Fort' on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. The monument has been levelled. All that survives is a low scarp (H 0.3-0.7m) curving from WSW-N-NNE.
