Lismoylan - Hachured — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Mound and ditch still mark the fort, though conifers and elders have claimed the centre. The farm shed and hay barn stand close enough to suggest people still use the land around it, perhaps unaware they work beside an old boundary. What the circle excluded, who lived inside it, and when the wall collapsed have all slipped from local memory.

Immediately SW of farmyard, on N-facing slope. Circular area (24m N-S) defined by scarped edge (H 1.1m; Wth 3.4m) steepest to N and E where land falls away from enclosure; very shallow fosse (Wth 2m) S->SW. Ruinous field wall (H c. 0.5m) follows curve of enclosure c. 2m outside bottom edge of scarp. Interior, overgrown with mature conifers, elders etc., dips slightly down towards centre; just E of centre is rectangular mound (4m N-S; 3m E-W; H 0.3m). A farm shed stands immediately outside enclosure to NE, and a hay barn stands short distance to S. Compiled by: Denis Power Date of upload: 26 August 2011
