Lisparkacoosaun/Lios Pháirc an Chuasáin: This site was shown on the 1st edition of the OS map as a circular univallate enclosure. On the 2nd edition only its NW half is shown and the bank had been incorporated into a field fence. The only feature visible at the site today is a slight eminence which may mark the location of this NW sector. A possible souterrrain (KE044-052001-) was revealed when the site was being cleared (local information) and An Seabhac also noted such a feature (1939, 178). A stone axe-head which was discovered on top of a 'circular underground chamber' (UCC) probably came from this site as no other souterrain is recorded in the townland.
The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 658. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
