What is recorded here
Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Lisserdrea is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Lisserdrea, County Roscommon, Ireland. It appears only on the 1914 edition of the OS 6-inch map as a circular enclosure about 35 metres across on flat ground at the bottom of a north-facing slope. The earthwork is no longer visible in the pasture, and a north-south field bank now cuts through the location.
