What is recorded here

Lissabogy is a fairy fort in County Cork, Ireland. It occupies undulating pasture as a roughly circular, slightly raised area measuring 46.3 metres north-south and 33.5 metres east-west. An earthen bank rises 1.8 metres from SSE to NNE, with an external fosse 0.5 metre deep to the SW. A two-metre break appears in the bank to the north, while a north-south laneway truncates the eastern edge. The shape suggests a lived boundary, perhaps marked by ritual, labour or warning. Its preserved form testifies that people shaped this land deliberately, even if its exact purpose has faded.
