What is recorded here
Lisboy was a fairy fort in County Limerick, Ireland, where a shallow circular depression still marks the ground before ploughs and development erased its edge. The site sits on a gentle south-facing slope, holding the shape of a boundary rather than a building. It is the kind of place where human life and fairy story become hard to separate, because the land keeps a circle even when memory fades.
In pasture, on gentle S-facing slope. Monument, depicted as embanked circular enclosure (diam. c. 50m) on 1841 OS 6-inch map, has been levelled. However, in area of site a shallow circular (diam. c. 30m) depression is evident, though its edge is very indistinct NE->S.
