What is recorded here

The existence of a bawn at Lissardowlan is attested from the documentary sources. In 1417 the Annals of Connacht record that ‘Lissardowlin Castle (LF014-071002-) outside the bawn was burned’ (Ann. Conn., 437) and it is mentioned in a land grant, dated 1609, as ‘the castle, bawne, town and lands of Lisserdawle otherwise Lisserdowle (Lissardowlin)’ (Cal. pat. rolls Ire., Jas I, 145). There are no visible remains of any bawn at Lissardowlan and it seems likely that this may be equated with the bailey attached to the motte (LF014-071001-).

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed.

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