What is recorded here

Half-buried in grass on a west-facing knoll, the stone ringfort at Lisgoman still marks a D-shaped boundary thirty-six metres across. Its wall, thick as a man’s outstretched arms, disappears and reappears along the edge of a steep scarp, while a road wall cuts through one side and an underground passage lies hidden inside. People may have lived there, feared there, or simply passed by after dark, but the shape remains clear enough to stop a cart or a child chasing a rabbit.

Located on a knoll towards the top of the W-facing slope of Tullyskeherny plateau. Grass-covered D-shaped area (dims 36m N-S; 31m E-W) defined by the intermittently visible remains of a stone wall (Wth c. 1.5m) SE-W-N at the edge of a steep natural scarp. It is truncated by a N-S road wall at E, and Man-made underground passage (LE011-102002-) is in the interior. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Leitrim' compiled by Michael J. Moore (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2003). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 23 September 2008
