What is recorded here

Indicated is a vanished Cork ringfort, reduced to faint field undulations below an east-facing ridge. The 1842 survey still drew its thirty-metre circle, but human hands or centuries have since smoothed the earth. The fence bends around the hidden centre, admitting what the soil no longer displays.

Below ridge on E-facing slope. Hachured on 1842 OS 6-inch map as circular enclosure (diam. c. 30m). Levelled; low undulations in field; field fence curves to respect site. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 2: East and South Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1994). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009

Lisnabrin South is a likely early-medieval ringfort, indicated by its circular enclosure and hachured depiction on the 1842 Ordnance Survey map. Though now largely levelled, the site retains low undulations and is respected by the field fence, suggesting continued local recognition of its significance; no specific folklore is recorded, but such sites were often associated with fairy lore or ancient habitation in Irish tradition.
