What is recorded here
One third of a kilometre south-east of the tree ring, a shallow scar still marks the fort. It is no longer a fort, only a line in the grass where the bank once stood. The name remains because the shape disappeared.
In reclaimed pasture in the NW corner of the former demesne of Massy Lodge, located 700m to SE and immediately S of the townland boundary with Baurnagurrahy. Tree-ring (LI057-065----) lies 220m to the SE. Annotated ‘Lissantrelick‘ on the 1840 ed. OSi 6-inch map where it is shown as a roughly circular-shaped area within a woodland plantation. It is depicted on the 1897 ed. OSi 25-inch map as sub-circular-shaped area (dims. c. 30m N-S; 27m E-W) enclosed by a bank reduced to a scarp, incorporated into a field boundary, with an external fosse from NE-E-S. Identified as a possible ringfort on Bórd Gáis Éireann Curraleigh West-Limerick gas pipeline aerial photographs (Strip map 2, site 2/9) taken 03/11/1984. No surface remains visible on Digital Globe orthoimage taken between 2011-13 or on Google Earth orthoimages.
