What is recorded here
Lislee is a vanished fairy fort on a sunny slope above Broadstrand Bay, reduced to a shallow dish in the pasture and a road cutting through its northern edge. The sea still fills the eastern view, but the hands that built the ring have disappeared into legend. What remains is a suggestion of shape, a place where memory and marble both dissolve under weather.
Pasture, S-facing slope, W of Broadstrand Bay, extensive view of sea to E. Levelled; slight depression in field. Road to N cuts part of enclosure.
