Lisataggart

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

Located at the S end of a low hillock on the floor of a N-S valley with a canalised N-S stream c. 50m to the E. This rath is described as ‘Lisataggart’ from Lios an Saggart – the Priest’s Lios – on the OS 6-inch maps. It is a raised oval area (dims 26m N-S; 20m E-W) defined by an earthen bank (Wth of base 7-8m; int. H 0.3-0.7m; ext. H 2-2.8m) NNW-E-SSW and a scarp elsewhere. There is no visible fosse and an original entrance is not identified. It has become overgrown since 1969 (Digitalmap).
