What is recorded here

Lisnamuck is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Ogham (tirerrill By.), County Sligo, Ireland. It occupies a low ridge in undulating pasture, where a circular earthen bank and scarp mark a twenty-four-metre diameter. Quarrying removed part of the northeast arc, while field boundaries now cross the southwest and southeast sections. Overgrowth covers the bank and part of the southern interior, leaving the ancient structure partly hidden in the landscape.

In undulating pasture, on a low ridge in the S corner of a field. A raised circular area (diam. 24m) defined by remains of an earthen bank (Wth 3m; int. H 0.7m; ext. H 1m) WNW-N and by a scarp (H 1.4m) N-SE. The NE arc is partially removed by quarrying. Field boundaries (on NE-SW and NW-SE axes) have been built on top of the bank along the SW and SE arcs. The bank and part of the S half of the interior are covered with overgrowth. A possible barrow (SL034-005----) lies c. 50m to S. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Sligo' compiled by Ursula Egan, Elizabeth Byrne, Mary Sleeman with Sheila Ronan and Connie Murphy (Dublin Stationery Office, 2005).
