The National Monuments Service's description
Ringfort (CL056-044001-) is named 'Lisnaleagaun' on the OS 6-inch map. Westropp (1909, 116) notes that this translates as 'the fort of the pillar stone'. There is no standing stone evident, however on inspection in 2003 the landowner described a large standing stone lying just a few metres outside the S sector of the ringfort. Apparently it had been covered by vegetation for a number of years and was removed and placed against an adjacent field wall.
