The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on at the crest of the N-facing slope of a broad E-W ridge and overlooking a W-E branch of the River Balckwater which is c. 140m distant. It is described as ‘Lisbough (Site of)’ in gothic lettering on the 1907 and 1949 editions of the OS 6-inch map. No archaeological feature is visible at ground level in pasture.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Monaghan' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1986). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
