What is recorded here
Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Lisheeneenaun East is a poorly preserved circular rath, 56.7m across, in level pastureland. Two banks and a fosse shaped it, but field walls now cover most of the outline. Only the west and north-west still give way to the old line, leaving the rest hidden beneath later ownership and pasture.
In level pastureland. Poorly preserved circular rath (diam. 56.7m) defined by two banks and an
intervening fosse. The fosse and outer bank, overlain by a field wall, are visible only at W. Another field wall overlies the inner bank at NW. Traces of an inner revetment are visible on the inner bank. (McCaffrey 1952, 275-6, no. 19)
