What is recorded here
Lisbeg, a small ringfort with a 45m diameter, crouches immediately SW of its larger neighbour as a probable satellite. Its low, wide earthen bank still rises above the ground, though ploughs and time have softened the edge. A satellite suggests a household or a guard post for the main fort, yet the name Lisbeg keeps the place small enough for a single family to own.
