What is recorded here

Lismore/Lios Mór: The field in which this site was located is called 'Parkalassa' (OSNB Killorglin, 43), a name which is also applied to a rath 350m to NNW (KE065-025----). There are no visible remains of this site, which is marked as a circular enclosure on the OS maps. It was located about 70m SE of KE065-026---- at the junction of a number of field boundaries which have now been removed. The site overlooks the Finglas river a short distance to E. The above description is derived from A. O'Sullivan and J. Sheehan (compilers), 'The Iveragh peninsula: an archaeological survey of South Kerry'. Cork University Press (1996), no. 645. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 30 July 2013

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed. The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
