Lisnagry, Flaskagh More is a well-preserved subcircular early-medieval ringfort, likely dating to the 6th to 10th centuries AD, characterized by a bank and partial fosse. Local tradition associates such sites with fairy lore, and they were often considered places of supernatural significance in Irish folklore.
