What is recorded here

Lisnageer is a substantial earthen ringfort, internally about 35 metres across, with a deep partly waterlogged fosse and a break at the southeast marked by a causeway. It stands densely overgrown in County Cavan, hiding much of its shape beneath vegetation. The earthworks suggest a defended or valued domestic place rather than a casual mound, though no named resident or dated event is preserved in the facts given.

Raised circular area (int. diam. c. 35m) enclosed by a substantial earthen bank and a wide, deep, partly waterlogged fosse outside of which is a broad, low counterscarp bank running from SW-W-NW. Break in bank at SE with accompanying causeway represents original entrance. Densely overgrown with vegetation. 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
