Fairy fort / stone ringfort in Lissananny More

In pasture, on a NW-facing slope, near the base of a drumlin ridge. A circular area (int. diam. 21m N-S) defined by a sod-covered stone wall (T 1.7m; int. H 0.85m; ext. H 0.7m) except along the W arc where the interior is defined by a scarp (H 1.7m). The W half of the interior is raised to compensate for the hillslope. The W and N edges of the cashel have been quarried into reducing the E-W diameter to 14.6m. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Sligo' compiled by Ursula Egan, Elizabeth Byrne, Mary Sleeman with Sheila Ronan and Connie Murphy (Dublin Stationery Office, 2005).
