What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Lisnasoolmoy is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Lisnasoolmoy, County Tipperary, Ireland. A 1955 account describes a raised circular area 35 metres north-south on flat, poorly drained land, enclosed by a 2-metre-wide earthen bank standing 1.7 metres high externally and an outer ditch. That account saw no entrance feature, and the 2002 inventory records no visible trace at ground level.

Situated on flat poorly drained land with good views in all directions. Described by Wheeler (OPW file, 1955) as a raised circular area (diam. 35m N-S) enclosed by an earthen bank (Wth 2m; ext. H 1.7m) and external fosse with no entrance feature visible. Not visible at ground level. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Tipperary. Vol. 1 - North Tipperary' compiled by Jean Farrelly and Caimin O'Brien (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2002). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 22 September 2008
