What is recorded here

Lisharheen Caher is a ruined oval cashel on a gentle downslope near the E foot of the Caher valley. It measures 30.4m E-W and 27.5m N-S, defined by a grass-covered stone spread 0.8-3.1m wide with intermittently visible outer facing-stones. A small N-S road cuts through the E side and several clearance cairns fill the interior. Another late wall runs on the line of the enclosure at N and a small rectangular hut abuts the outer face at ESE.
