The National Monuments Service's description

Lyons (1937, 242-9) identified a number of earthworks associated with the medieval settlement of Lisronagh (TS077-010----). In the field immediately S of the tower house, near the NW corner, there is a raised earthwork (TS077-010008-), roughly circular in shape (diam. 14.4m N-S; 10.3m E-W; H 0.42m) which roughly corresponds with Lyons' site 11 (ibid.), the adjacent field boundary, running N-S, appears to transect the W side of the earthwork, there appears to be some trace of it in the field to the W.
