Lisnatea is a subcircular early-medieval ringfort, likely dating to between the 5th and 10th centuries, situated on the south bank of the River Suck. Local folklore, though sparse, associates such sites with fairy dwellings, and the name "Lisnatea" may derive from "Lios na Tea" (the fort of the fairies or the fort of the people).
