Lissaree, Ballymalis is a likely early-medieval ringfort, indicated on the 1895 Ordnance Survey map as a roughly circular enclosure about 40 meters in diameter, situated near the mill race of the Kerry Woollen Mills. Local tradition associates such sites with fairy lore, and it may have been considered a place of supernatural significance in folklore.
