What is recorded here
Situated on a very slight rise in gently undulating pasture. This rath is not indicated on the 1837-8 OS 6-inch map, but is shown on the 1940-1 edition where it is named 'Lisbiggan'. It consists of roughly circular, slightly raised area (diam. 25m) defined at WSW-NW by an irregular scarp (ext. H 0.6m), at NW-NE by remnants of an earth and stone bank (Wth 5m; int. H 0.3m) and elsewhere by a barely perceptible rise. The original entrance is not evident. The remains of a Man-made underground passage (SL008-012002-) are located on the W side of the interior along the original line of the bank.
