The National Monuments Service's description
Lissapheepera. This circular enclosure is marked on the 1841-42 OS map. It lies on gently S sloping pastureland NE of KE016-053----. On the 1914-15 OS map only the N through E to S section is marked. However, it does show up as a slight crop mark on the Geological Survey of Ireland's aerial photographs (1974). No surface trace survives today.
The above description is derived from C. Toal, ‘North Kerry Archaeological Survey’. Dingle. Brandon in association with FAS Training and Employment Authority (1995), no. 639. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
