What is recorded here

Lissavard is a wide earthen ring in West Cork, marked by a stone-faced bank and a hidden underground passage. It stands on a south-facing slope where the land still remembers the shape of human hands. The break in the wall faces southeast, as if inviting entry rather than closing it away.

In pasture, on break in S-facing slope. Circular area (56m N-S; 58m E-W) enclosed by earthen bank (H 1.4m), stone faced to NNW; external fosse (D 0.5m). Break in bank to SSE (Wth 3.6m). Man-made underground passage (CO135-040002-) in interior. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 1: West Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1992). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
