What is recorded here

The fairy fort in Lisheennavannoge stands twenty-four metres across on a small rise above level grassland. Its circular bank still marks the shape, though a field wall now climbs part of the slope and quarrying has bitten through the eastern side. People may have lived there before the land was taken for stone, but the flat green surroundings preserve more of the outline than memory does.

On a rise in otherwise level grassland. Poorly preserved originally circular rath (D 24m) defined by a bank, overlain by a field wall from SW to NW. The monument has been quarried out from NE to ESE.
