Lisnafinnoge, Eastwell is a circular early-medieval ringfort, likely dating to between the 5th and 10th centuries AD, situated in undulating grassland. No specific folklore is recorded for this site, though like many such forts in Ireland, it may have later been associated with local fairy traditions.
