What is recorded here

Lisheennanarm is a broken fairy fort in West Cork, its earth and stone arc still standing south of the roadway while the north side has vanished entirely. The gaps in the bank and the overgrown interior suggest something was lost rather than built carelessly. A place half-erased on a SW-facing slope keeps more of its mystery than a complete circle ever could.

In pasture, on SW-facing slope. Arc (E->W) formed by earth and stone bank (H 1.3m) with numerous gaps, survives S of roadway. Interior heavily overgrown. No visible trace N of roadway. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 1: West Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1992). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed. The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
