The National Monuments Service's description
On a slight rise in flat grassland. Very poorly preserved circular enclosure (diam. 29.2m) defined by a scarp. From N to E the enclosing element and part of the interior have been destroyed as a result of the construction of a house which is now ruined. The site of ‘Lisheennora Castle’ (GA099-109001-) is recorded on the OS 6-inch maps within its interior.
