What is recorded here

Lissaniska held a circular earthen fort named Lios na Bró, the fort of the quern. It appeared on maps drawn in 1841 and 1939, yet no visible trace remains today. The earth may have swallowed the ridge or people may have levelled it for fields, but the name still points to a small domestic place where grain was broken and life was measured in hunger and patience.
