Lisnatreanduff is a circular early-medieval ringfort, likely dating to between the 5th and 10th centuries, characterized by multiple earthen banks and ditches. Local folklore, common to many such sites, associates it with the Otherworld and tales of fairies, though specific traditions connected to this site are not recorded.
