What is recorded here

(Site of) Lisnagree is a fairy fort or ringfort in Scart (sergeant), County Waterford, Ireland. The 1840 and 1927 Ordnance Survey map editions marked a faint circular enclosure about 50 metres across on the east-facing pasture slope. It is not visible at ground level, but its recorded size and name suggest it may have been a ringfort.
Marked faintly as a circular enclosure (diam. c 50m) described as the 'Site of Lisnagree' on the 1840 ed. of the OS 6-inch map and as the site of 'Lios na gCroidhe' on the 1927 ed. Situated in pasture on an E-facing slope, it is not visible at ground level but the size and name suggest that it may have been a ringfort. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Waterford' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1999). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload/revision: 19 January 2012
