A fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Lissaniska, likely dating to the early medieval period, is associated with the Irish name Lios an Fhearainn, meaning "ringfort of the land," suggesting a possible historical or territorial significance. It appears on the 1841–42 Ordnance Survey map, though its folklore remains unrecorded.
