What is recorded here
Situated on a slight rise in the valley of a small meandering N-S stream which curves around it c. 50-80m distant E-S. It is depicted as an oval embanked enclosure (ext. dims c. 35m E-W; c. 20m N-S) on the 1834 edition of the OS 6-inch map where it is described in gothic lettering as ‘Lisinabragh fort’ but this is transformed into a ‘Lisarolagh fort’ (Site of) on the 1907 edition. There is no evidence of a monument just W of a house.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Monaghan' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1986). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
