What is recorded here
Situated in reclaimed pasture on a gentle W-facing slope which is in a slight col on a N-S drumlin ridge. A small enclosure (diam. c. 20m) with bushes on the perimeter is depicted faintly as on the 1835 edition of the OS 6-inch map where it is described as ‘Lisnachappul’ – Fort of the horses. Two bushes remain untouched, and the stones accumulated at their base are regarded locally as a mass-rock. Moore (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2003).
