What is recorded here

Lisglass is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Coollemoneen, County Sligo, Ireland. It occupies rough pasture near the top of a north-facing ridge and contains a raised circular area about twenty metres wide. A substantial earthen bank encloses the space, while a boggy external fosse filled with rushes surrounds the structure. Remains of a stone kerb appear at intervals along the internal base of the bank.

In undulating rough pasture, near the top of the N-facing slope of a ridge. A raised circular area (diam. c. 20m) enclosed by a substantial earthen bank (Wth 5m; int. H 1.3m; ext. H 1.8m) with remains of a stone kerb visible at intervals around the base of the internal face of the bank. The boggy external fosse (Wth 3m; D 0.9m) is filled with rushes. A possible entrance (Wth 1m) is at N. The possible remains of an outer bank (Wth 1.8m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 0.6m) curve around the fosse N-NE. The interior slopes down from S to N and there is a possible Man-made underground passage (SL034-069002-) in the W half, adjacent to the bank. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Sligo' compiled by Ursula Egan, Elizabeth Byrne, Mary Sleeman with Sheila Ronan and Connie Murphy (Dublin Stationery Office, 2005).
