What is recorded here

Kilcoolaght West held Lismore, an earthen ringfort buried under dense growth before men levelled it around 1970. It crouched north of Macgillycuddy's Reeks and east of the Cottoners river, a forgotten boundary marker on the valley floor. The land swallowed the stones and the stones swallowed the memory, leaving only a shallow dip where the mountain wind still moves.

Lismore/Lios Mór: This earthen enclosure was levelled around 1970. It was then densely overgrown and survived in a poor state of preservation (local information). Marked on both editions of the OS maps, it was situated N of Macgillycuddy's Reeks and E of the Cottoners river. The above description is derived from A. O'Sullivan and J. Sheehan (compilers), 'The Iveragh peninsula: an archaeological survey of South Kerry'. Cork University Press (1996), no. 678. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 29 July 2013
