In good quality pasture and meadowland on a gentle E-facing slope. Hachured and named ‘Lisheenakirka’ on the 1842 and 1915 eds. of the OS 6-inch maps and named ‘Lisín na Circe’ on Robinson’s (1977) map. A small poorly preserved, oval enclosure (15.9m E–W; 10.8m N–S crest to crest) defined by a low round-topped earthen bank (Wth at base 2.7–7.2m; H 0.1–1.1m) with no obvious trace of an outer fosse or entrance.
