Lislea

In pasture, on a low rise. A curved earthen bank (Wth 6.3m; H 0.5m; L 10m) evident S-SW is likely to be the remains of the SW arc of a rath. This arc of bank is indicated on the 1914 OS 6-inch map. 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).

Lislea is a likely early-medieval ringfort, identified by a curved earthen bank on a low rise, with features matching a southwest arc of a rath. Though folklore is not specifically recorded for this site, like many such forts in Ireland, it may have later been associated with local fairy traditions.
