What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Lisserdrea is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Lisserdrea, County Roscommon, Ireland. The 1914 edition of the OS 6-inch map marked a hachured D-shaped feature measuring about 20 metres north-south and 10 metres east-west, truncated by a north-south field bank at the east. Gannon described a semi-circular bank in a low-lying position between drumlins to the north and south, but the site is no longer visible and now occupies a house and garden.
