Lisnakilla/Lios na Cille: A large subrectangular enclosure situated less than 1km N of Anascaul, on a NE facing slope about 200m W of the Owenascaul river. The foundations of several rectangular house sites lie within the enclosure but there is no visible trace of the souterrain (KE044-065007-) which was discovered many years ago in the SW sector (local information).
The foundations of a rectangular house abut the S side of the middle dividing wall. It measures 8.85m E-W x 3.6m N-S internally and the walls, for the most part collapsed, were 1.1m wide and now stand no more than .75m high. It is locally referred to as a church, but this may be a recent tradition, as it is not mentioned by the OS or by An Seabhac (1939, 180).
The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 811. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
