What is recorded here

The Roman Catholic church of Lisduff is within the rath (LE031-020001-) and it is described as such on the 1835 edition of the OS 6-inch map. It later became a school, and there is a local story that it was attacked by the military during the War of Independence in the course of a dance. This is a rectangular, roofed building (int. dims 18m NW-SE; 4.8m NE-SW) with two doorways and four windows in the SW wall, two windows in the NE, and one each in the NW and SE walls. It has an inserted wall from when it was converted into a school in 1882, which date is over one of the doorways. It is now used as a cow-shed.
