What is recorded here
Lisduff is a forgotten fairy fort in County Limerick, reduced today to a hidden circle beneath dense bushes. It has a wide platform, steep bank, surrounding ditch and a southern entrance where a causeway once crossed the flood. The name vanished from local memory, but the shape still resists the land's attempt to erase it.
Enclosure described in 1942-3 as following; 'A platform on the edge of which there is a bank. Outside there is a fosse. The entrance is on the south side, where there is a break in the bank and a causeway across the fosse. The overall diameter is 150' [46m]. It is densely overgrown with bushes. It is called on the map Lisduff. This name is not known locally now. Situated in good low-land' (O'Kelly 1942-3, 230). Outline of enclosure is visible today on Digital Globe aerial photographs.
