What is recorded here

Lissagriffin holds a rectangular foundation five metres wide and nine metres long inside its ringfort. That much is clear. Whether the building stored grain, sheltered a smith or belonged to a proud local family remains unknown. The stones survived while the name and purpose faded, leaving a shape instead of a story.

In ringfort (C0147-025001-). Foundations of rectangular structure (5.1m N-S; 9.6m E-W) in SW quadrant. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 1: West Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1992). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
