What is recorded here

Liscunagh: Marked as a small circular enclosure on the OS maps, this site is located on the N side of the Coomduff ridge in wet boggy pasture, overlooking the valley of the Inny river. A low circular bank encloses a slightly sunken area, 7.3m N-S x 7.85m E-W. The bank is composed of earth and stone and is considerably eroded. It varies in external height from .5m to 1.25m and it has an average basal thickness of 1.8m. Cork University Press (1996), no. 732.
