What is recorded here

In improved pasture, located on a rise in undulating terrain. This possible rath is shown on the 1838 and 1916 OS 6-inch maps as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 20-25m) named ‘Lisroe’. Levelled during land reclamation; a slight circular undulation (diam. c. 25m) can still be discerned at ground level, crossed at N by a roughly E−W field fence. A N−S farm road lies immediately to E.
