What is recorded here

Lisualinagh is a circular earthen ringfort in West Cork, measuring 36 to 38 metres across with a 2.15 metre bank and a shallow external ditch. It sits on a south-facing pasture slope where the land still holds the shape of human hands. The fort may have been a home, a boundary marker, or a place of story, but its walls have not spoken since people stopped repeating their names. What remains is a clear circle in the grass, waiting for someone to walk it and remember that living there once meant shaping the earth itself.

In pasture, on S-facing slope. Circular area (36m N-S; 38.2m E-W) enclosed by earthen bank (H 2.15m); external fosse (D 1.3m) SSE->SE.

In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
