What is recorded here

Lisvealnaslee is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Ballymoylin, County Tipperary, Ireland. The circular area is about 30 metres across, enclosed by an earth and stone bank 1.5 metres wide, with an external ditch 3 metres wide and 0.7 metres deep. Possible traces of a slight outer bank are visible in places, while dense vegetation prevents detailed examination. A deep sunken laneway to an old farmhouse cuts through the eastern edge on a north-south axis, and no entrance feature is visible.
