What is recorded here

Lissacurrig, also called Lios Uí Coruig or O'Corick's fort, stood as a circular earthen enclosure in County Kerry. It appeared on maps from 1841-42 and 1915-16, with a cave marked inside the earlier version. The site has since been levelled, erasing its ridge and room. What remains is a name and a ghost of shape, perhaps still turning in the soil beneath ordinary ground.

A fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Glanerdalliv, likely dating to the early medieval period, is associated with the name Lios Uí Coruig (O'Corick's fort), suggesting a historical or legendary figure. The site's interior once contained a marked cave, and its long-standing representation on Ordnance Survey maps indicates continuity in local recognition of its significance.
