What is recorded here

Fairy fort in Lissanisky, County Longford: a 49m oval scarped bank with infilled fosse on a gentle NE-facing pasture slope, its entrance lost though a low outer bank showed at south in 1976. People may have lived there before fields took the doorway back; the earth kept the shape while memory let go.

On a gentle NE-facing slope in reclaimed pasture. A raised roughly oval area (c. 49m NE-SW; c. 37m NW-SE) defined by a scarp (H 1.2-2m) with an external fosse (Wth 1.2-3.5m; D 0.7m), which has been largely infilled from WNW-N-ENE and from E-SE-SSE. A report in 1976 (SMR file) recorded a low outer bank at S. The original entrance is not recognisable. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 26 August 2011
