What is recorded here
Lissavully is a sub-circular fairy fort atop a Cork dumlin, measuring roughly thirty metres across and marked by a slight earthen scarp. A possible underground passage cuts through its interior, inviting speculation about hidden chambers or forgotten rituals. The site remains in tillage, blending human memory and local wonder beneath ordinary farmland.
In tillage, atop dumlin. Sub-circular area (23.9m N-S; c. 30m E-W) defined by slight scarp. Possible Man-made underground passage (CO118-022002-) in interior.
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.
