What is recorded here

Lisillaundarrig is a univallate ringfort on the steep SW slopes of Knockmoylemore, overlooking the lower Garfinny valley and Trabeg. A stone mound marks the clochaun within the interior, while a short section of the inner wall still stands at the west edge before collapsing into the hillside. The site belongs to Baile An Bhúlaeraigh Theas, where the land itself preserves the shape of human occupation long after its makers disappeared.
Lisillaundarrig/Lios Oileán Garbh: Univallate ringfort KE043-167---- is situated on the steep SW slopes of Knockmoylemore, with good views over the lower Garfinny valley and Trabeg. A mound of stones in the NW sector of the interior marks the location of the clochaun noted on the OS maps. A 2m long section of the inner wall-face survives to a height of .25m at W, but the remainder is obscured by collapse. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 540. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
