What is recorded here

Lisnaparka, the ringfort of the field, still circles twenty metres of pasture in front of Griffin's house. Its earthen bank, five metres wide at the base, survives though modern hands cut a gap and burned debris inside the northwest sector. The fort may have been a farmstead, a refuge or a boundary marker, but its shape remains a clear claim on the land.

Internal diameter 21m N-S, 20m E-W Lisnaparka/Lios na Páirce (ringfort of the field). Situated on gently sloping pastureland in front of Griffin's house, a good view is afforded in all directions. This site consists of a circular area enclosed by an earthen bank. The bank measures .8m externally and .5m above the interior; the width of the bank at the base measures 5m. To the NW a modern opening has been cut into the bank, and the NW sector of the interior of the bank has been disturbed and used for dumping and burning. To the SE there is a 5.5m wide gap providing access to the interior. The above description is derived from C. Toal, ‘North Kerry Archaeological Survey’. Dingle.
