What is recorded here

The OSNB records a 'fort' called 'Lissaghaun/Liosachán, located in an area called 'Cappagh Knocknaboola' (Ó Cíobháin 1978, 8). Not marked on the OS maps, the site has not been identified and Ó Cíobháin suggests that it may be the 'fort' recorded by the OSNB in Knocknaboola townland (KE056-055----). The above description is derived from A. O'Sullivan and J. Sheehan (compilers), 'The Iveragh peninsula: an archaeological survey of South Kerry'. Cork University Press (1996), no. 646. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 29 July 2013

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.

The map shows the centre of the officially named townland area, not the monument. The government record does not identify the exact monument point.
