What is recorded here

Lisnaboul is a fairy fort in County Cork, Ireland. It is a roughly circular earthen ringfort on a south-facing slope, with a one-metre bank and an external ditch reaching 1.75 metres deep. Part of the bank was stone-faced to serve as a field boundary, and the level interior may hide a man-made underground passage.
In rough grazing, on S-facing slope. Roughly circular area (45.3m N-S; 39.5m E-W) enclosed by earthen bank (H 1m), with external fosse (max. D 1.75m) NW->SE. Bank modified and stone faced SE->SSW, to act as field boundary. Interior level; possible Man-made underground passage (CO085-08502-). The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 2: East and South Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1994). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
