The National Monuments Service's description
Lisbeg/Lios Beag: On the first edition of the OS map this site is shown as a circular enclosure. On the second edition it is marked ‘site of’’. There is now no visible trace of the enclosure. It was located on a gentle, facing slope overlooking the plain of the River Laune to E.
The above description is derived from A. O'Sullivan and J. Sheehan (compilers), 'The Iveragh peninsula: an archaeological survey of South Kerry'. Cork University Press (1996), no. 821. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
