The National Monuments Service's description
A subrectangular field (dims c. 80-140m N-S c. 80m E-WS) described in italic lettering as 'Lismanaghan' is depicted on the 1912 edition of the OS 6-inch map, and according to local tradition this refers to 'the lios of the monks'. No visible remains were noted when inspected by ASI in 1966 in a grass and scrub-covered field.
