In pasture, in the former grounds of Ballinamore House, an 18th-century country house (NIAH no 31308003), located a prominent rise with excellent views. There is a hollow of wettish ground to SE.
Shown on the 1838 OS 6-inch map as a circular enclosure (diam. 40-45m) named ‘Lismeel’; depicted on later map editions as an irregular-shaped hachured feature.
This possible rath has been levelled, and partly quarried out at S−SW. The remains consist of a kidney-shaped platform (c. 30m NNW−SSE; c. 16m NNE−SSW) with a high, broadly slumped scarp (Wth slope c. 7m; H 1.6m at NW, H 1.8-2m at NE) which merges almost seamlessly with the natural slope of the rise. A very shallow depression (W c. 4m) curves around the NW−N arc, possibly indicating a fosse.
