In reclaimed pasture, 580m SSW of Ballynanty House. Not depicted on 1840 ed. OSi 6-inch map. Annotated ‘Lisheen’ on the 1897 ed. OSi 25-inch map where it is depicted as a raised rectangular-shaped area (dims. c. 80m N-S x 60m E-W) defined by a scarp with fosse, with a raised roughly square-shaped area (dims. c. 31m N-S x 47m E-W) defined by a scarp and fosse, in S quadrant. A rectangular-shaped raised area (dims. c. 21m N-S x 65m E-W) defined by a scarp and fosse from NE-SE and SSE-S-SW is located immediately to S. Intersected at S by drainage works associated with demesne landscaping and laneway. Monument visible on OSi orthophotograph taken between 2005-12 and on Google Earth orthoimage dated 24/09/2019 in a similar manner to the OSi 25-inch map.
