Lissacholly Earthen Ringfort — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Lissacholly is a broken earthen ring on the eastern shoulder of a low hill above the River Erne. Its bank and ditch have faded until only faint traces remain on the east and north, yet the shape still suggests a small fortified life. People may have stood there in rain, watched the water below or kept what they owned from neighbours. The earth has taken most of the answer, but it left enough for the place to be recognised as a human making rather than a random mound.

Originally a subcircular space enclosed by an earthen bank and external fosse. These now only survive on the E and N sides and in poor condition. Situated on the E shoulder of a low hill S of the River Erne. The above description was derived from the 'Archaeological Survey of County Donegal. A description of the field antiquities of the County from the Mesolithic Period to the 17th century.'
