The National Monuments Service's description
Lissaniska/Lios an Uisce (ringfort of the water; KE009-004----). This univallate rath is enclosed to the NW through N to NE by a fieldbank. The site consists of a circular area enclosed by a well-defined earth and stone bank, the exterior side of which is much steeper than the interior.
On the 1841-42 OS map 'cave' is marked in the interior (KE009-004001-). In the S to SE sector there is a raised semi-circular area 1.2m high, and leading out from the N and curving NW is a ridge c. 2m wide and c. 7m long, which could possibly be the tunnel remains.
The above description is derived from C. Toal, ‘North Kerry Archaeological Survey’. Dingle. Brandon in association with FAS Training and Employment Authority (1995), no. 352. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
