Lissaphuca

Marked as an oval embanked enclosure (ext. dims. c. 40m N-S; c. 30m E-W) on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map where it is described in gothic lettering as 'Lissaphuca' - the demon's fort. It is situated on a rise on a W-facing slope. Subcircular slightly domed grass-covered area (dims 31m N-S; 25.5m E-W) defined by a scarp (H 0.8m at E to 1.3m at S and W to 1.65m at N) with traces of stone facing or overlain by the remnants of a stone wall, especially S-SW. There is no evidence of a fosse, original entrance or internal features. The perimeter is slightly truncated at E by a field bank, now removed.

Lissaphuca is a likely early-medieval ringfort, indicated by its oval embanked enclosure and historic mapping. The name, meaning "the demon's fort," reflects local folklore associating the site with supernatural or otherworldly beings.
