What is recorded here

Modern farms have bitten into the eastern edge, yet the wide waterlogged ditch and tall bank still force a circle around Lisclone. The forgotten entrance has vanished beneath soil and time, but the shape remains clear enough to trap a person inside its own thoughts. Fairies may have built it in a single furious night, or humans may have stacked earth for generations until the ground obeyed. Both explanations fit the visible result: a round chamber waiting for someone brave enough to enter without permission.

Raised circular area (int. diam. 30m) enclosed by a substantial earthen bank and a deep, partly waterlogged fosse. Modern farm buildings have encroached on perimeter of site from ESE-S-NNE. Original entrance not recognisable. Internal area has been planted with trees. 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
