What is recorded here

Lissardraha is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Kiltankin, County Tipperary, Ireland. The oval enclosure measures 55.5 metres north to south and 46.3 metres east to west, bounded by an earthen and stone bank with a 2 metre crest and 4.35 metre base. A 2.4 metre entrance opens in the east quadrant, while quarrying has cut into the bank there and gaps have broken through it in the northwest and north.

On the flat summit of ridge with ground falling to N in undulating pastureland. Oval area (diam. 55.5m N-S; 46.3m E-W) enclosed by earthen and stone bank (Wth. 2m crest; 4.35m base; ext. H 1.19m; int. H 0.82m). Entrance in E quadrant (Wth 2.4m). Bank has been quarried into in the E quadrant. Field bank and ditch skirt the ege of the monument in the SW sides. In the S quadrant only a length of bank (L c. 10m) survives, most of the bank material has been removed leaving a very shaley soil exposed. Quite a deep U-shaped depression at the base of outer face of the bank (ext. H 2.15m) in the SW sector, may be field ditch or surviving portion of external fosse (Wth 2m; D 0.55m). Gaps broken through bank in the NW and N quadrant. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 18 November 2013
