What is recorded here

Lisheen is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Loughglinn Demesne, County Roscommon, Ireland. The name appears in gothic lettering on the 1837 and 1928 Ordnance Survey maps, identifying the modest enclosure as the little fort. A low earthen bank defines the roughly circular perimeter, while a shallow ditch survives along the south-west to north-west arc. A separate standing stone sits eighteen metres outside the enclosure to the south-west.

Marked only on the 1914 ed. of the OS 6-inch map as an arc of a bank SW-NE (C c. 35m) and described in gothic lettering as 'Lisheen' - the little lios. It is situated on a slight N-facing slope in a deciduous wood. An arc of an earthen bank (Wth 2m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 0.6m) survives W-N. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010
