What is recorded here

Lisboghil is a fairy fort on a Clare hillock, its earthen bank still standing beside a disused lime kiln and old well. Cattle have cut gaps through the ridge, yet the wide view and odd shape remain unchanged from the first maps. People may have lived inside the oval before becoming a story, but the land still keeps the boundary sharp.

On a hillock in rough pasture, with wide views. Hachured and named 'Lisboghil' on both the first edition (1842) and later, Cassini edition (1920) of the OS 6-inch map. The OS 25-inch plan (c. 1890s) records a ‘Well’ c. 20m to the SSE and a ‘Lime Kiln (Disused)’ c. 34m to the SE. Listed as 'Enclosure' in the RMP (1996). A sub-oval area (int. diams. 26.8m NNW-SSE; 21.5m ENE-WSW) is defined by a low, round-topped, steep-sided, earthen bank (Wth 2.6m; int. H 0.35m; ext. H 1m). An external berm (Wth 1-1.7m) and an outer scarp are visible from S-W-NNE and may be the remains of a fosse and a second, outer bank. The inner bank's outer face is dug away at E and WSW and is cut by several livestock gaps, and by a later trackway at NNE. See attachment: CL008-099----_01 View of monument from NW.
