Lisbough (Site of) — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Lisbough is a lost ringfort on a Monaghan ridge, erased from the grass but still named on old maps. It overlooked the Blackwater, waiting for people who no longer gather there. The land kept the shape long enough for surveyors to record it, then took the rest back.

Situated on at the crest of the N-facing slope of a broad E-W ridge and overlooking a W-E branch of the River Balckwater which is c. 140m distant. It is described as ‘Lisbough (Site of)’ in gothic lettering on the 1907 and 1949 editions of the OS 6-inch map. No archaeological feature is visible at ground level in pasture. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Monaghan' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1986). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of revision: 12 December 2017
