What is recorded here
No stone or scar remains in Lisheenacrannagh except a field boundary curving from north-northwest to east, yet that gentle bend may still trace the lost ring. The name and nearby cashels suggest people shaped the land before memory faded, while fairy lore warns that the earth keeps what it takes back.
In pastureland. Marked on the 1838 edition of the OS 6-inch map as a roughly subcircular enclosure (c. 39m NW-SE; c. 35m NE-SW) immediately to the NW of a farmhouse and yard. A small field occupied most of the interior. No visible surface trace survives but the field boundary curving from NNW to E may mirror its outline. Possibly a cashel as a number are located in the vicinity (see GA122-073----, GA122-111---- and GA122-112----).
