What is recorded here
Lissaniska East once held a twenty-five-metre earthen ring, visible on maps until ploughs erased it. The clay forgot the shape of human hands, returning to level pasture while memory kept its circular boundary. What was built there has vanished, leaving only the field and the story of its loss.
In level pasture. Monument, depicted as embanked circular enclosure (diam. c. 25m) on 1924 OS 6-inch map, has been levelled. No trace of monument evident when inspected.
