What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Lissaneena is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Lissaneena, County Sligo, Ireland. It occupies a slight south-facing pasture slope above a reservoir and preserves a circular earthen bank around a level area nearly twenty metres across. The eastern edge of the bank remains the lowest part and includes a possible exterior ramp, marking the likely entrance to the enclosed space.

In pasture, on a slight S-facing slope overlooking a reservoir. A circular area (int. diam. 19m N-S; 20m E-W) enclosed by an earthen bank (Wth 2.5m; int. H 0.6m; ext. H 1.4m). The bank is lowest on the E side where there is possible ramp from the exterior, suggesting the location of the entrance.
