What is recorded here

In pasture, on a N-facing slope, near the summit of a low hill. This rath is not visible at ground level. It was indicated as a roughly circular enclosure (diam. c. 25m) on the 1846 and 1894 OS 6-inch maps. In the 1840s it was described as being 'tilled' and was called Lissheenmeel Fort (OSNB, Kilcummin, no. 3, 21).
