Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Lisnagree

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

Situated on a rise, in pasture. Depicted on the revised 1910 ed. OS 25-inch map as an oval-shaped earthwork. Monument described in 1973 as a roughly circular-shaped area (diam. 27m) enclosed by a bank that is almost reduced to a scarp with possible entrance gap at NE. A field boundary runs concentric with the bank, just outside it from SSE-S-W-N-NNE and gives the impression of an outer bank. The interior has a slight N-facing slope. Monument is visible today as a roughly oval-shaped tree-covered earthwork on Digital Globe aerial photography. Compiled by Alison McQueen, Vera Rahilly and Caimin O’Brien.
