What is recorded here

Lisdornan holds a circular grass mound thirty metres across at its base and five metres high, marked by a narrow ditch and scattered trees. It may be the same Raholland castle Hartnett described decades ago, perhaps built by someone who watched the road or kept a small household above the valley fog. The grass still covers the top, smoothing the angle of its edges, while the ditch preserves the shape of a boundary drawn in earth.

Circular, flat-topped and grass-covered mound (diam. of top 10m; diam. of base 27m; H 3.5-5m) with some trees defined by the remains of a fosse (at WNW: Wth c. 6m; ext. D 0.5m). It may be the mound described by Hartnett (PRIA 1957, 263) as being in Raholland, which is the next townland to the W. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Meath' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1987). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of revision: 2 June 2016
