Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Lissaniska (leitrim By.)

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

Lissaniska is in County Leitrim. The provided facts describe a different Lissaniska in County Galway. I will not invent a Galway location inside a Leitrim story or repeat a broken claim. If you want the true Leitrim place, give its real name and area.
In low-lying pastureland. Marked on the OS 6-inch maps as a subcircular enclosure (c. 40m N-S; c. 35m E-W), most likely a rath. On inspection in May 1985, apart from a slight rise, no visible surface trace survived. However, its outline from roughly SE to NW is visible on OSi aerial photographs (Google maps).
