Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Lisnaboy Lower

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

No human blood has touched that soil. The chamber is a finished chamber, not a buried chamber. It is a living chamber. The distinction is not philosophy. The distinction is memory.
In pasture, towards top of SE-facing slope. Circular area (42.5m N-S; 42.5m E-W) enclosed by two heavily overgrown earthen banks with intervening fosse. Inner bank (int. H 1.5m) survives SE->NE; scarp (H 0.5m) elsewhere. Outer bank survives to NW and NE; incorporated into townland boundary. Interior grass-covered. According to Broker (1937, 52), this is 'Lios na Buidhe or Bo Buidhe'. Possible Man-made underground passage (CO029-193---) in interior. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 4: North Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2000). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
