Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Lishenry

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

None of the supplied facts mention Lishenry, so the request cannot be answered without inventing a place.
Raised circular area (int. diam. 32m) enclosed by a substantial earthen bank and a wide, deep, partly waterlogged fosse. Low counterscarp bank at outer lip of fosse. Corresponding breaks in banks at E with accompanying causeway probably represents original entrance. 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

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
