What is recorded here

Lissinaffrin is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Attishane, County Roscommon, Ireland. It occupies a north-west-facing slope with a circular grass-covered area measuring thirty-one point four metres north-west to south-east. An earthen bank and complete flat-bottomed fosse define the inner circle, while an outer bank survives along the north-east to east-south-east and west-south-west to north-north-east edges. No evidence of an original entrance remains visible.
