Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Lisfarrell

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

At the SW end of a low ridge in otherwise wet, low-lying pasture. A raised circular area (diam. 33.4m) enclosed by a low bank of earth and stone (Wth 7.2m; H 0.4m) with a shallow intervening fosse (Wth 6.5m; D 0.3m) and a low, much-denuded, outer bank (Wth c. 3m; H 0.25m). The original entrance is not recognisable. The rath is very densely overgrown with vegetation rendering satisfactory inspection impossible. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 26 August 2011
