What is recorded here

Lisnagree Fort is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Leitrim (ballintober South By.), County Roscommon, Ireland. The site is a circular grass-covered area defined by an earthen bank and flat-bottomed fosse on a southwest-facing slope. Two other raths sit within three hundred metres to the east and south-southeast.

Described in gothic lettering on the 1837 and 1928 eds of the OS 6-inch map as 'Lisnagree' - the King's lios. It is situated on a SW-facing slope towards the W end of a WNW-ESE ridge. This is a circular grass-covered area (diam. c. 46m E-W; 42m N-S) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 5.6-6.5m; int. H 0.15m at S to 1.65m at N; ext. H 1.3-1.8m) separated by a flat-bottomed fosse (at N: Wth of top 10.7m; Wth of base 3m; D 1.3m) from an outer bank (at N: Wth 5m; H 0.25m) which survives WSW-N-SSE. There is an entrance (Wth 5.2m) in the inner bank at S and this bank is damaged by a slight quarry NW-NNW. Rath (RO035-021----) is c. 180m to the E and rath (RO035-020----) is c. 160m to the SSE.
