Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Lissaniska North

The first field survey of that county marked the hill as a fairy fort, but the measurements show a human rath: thirty-nine metres north to south, thirty-five and a half east to west, with two banks, a ditch between them, and a causewayed gap little wider than a man at the north. Hawthorn has strangled the inner bank into a green cage, while later field walls have cut through the outer ring at the south and east. People may have built it to keep out rain, neighbours or the dead, and the fairies may have moved in later to stop everyone else coming near.
