What is recorded here
In pasture, at the rear of two modern dwellings, ringfort known locally as 'Lisheengorm' (LI039-017----) lies 220m to the W. Depicted on the 1840 ed. OSi 6-inch map as a sub-rectangular shaped area (dims. c. 20m N-S; 27m E-W) enclosed by a field-boundary. Not shown as an antiquity on this map but as a small sub-rectangular shaped field. Not marked on 1897 ed. OSi 25-inch map, likely that the small field levelled between these map dates. In 2000 test excavations were carried out under licence No. 00E0840 by Rose Cleary to the S of the enclosure and no archaeological features or finds were uncovered (Cleary 2002, 201). No surface remains visible on OSi orthophotograph taken between 2005-12 and on Google Earth orthoimages. Remain of a small post-medieval field and not the remains of an antiquity.
