- CL005-063: Ringfort - cashel, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CCL005-063----. On a level terrace - at the juncture between improved pasture to the E and rough grazing to the W - on the W side of the Caher valley, within a large multi-period field system (CL004-016001-). Hachured on the 1840 ed. of the OS 6-inch map and hachured and named ‘Lisheeneagh’ on the 1916 ed. O’Donovan (https://www.logainm.ie/en/5808) gives the Irish version of the townland and fort as Lisín each, which he translates as ‘little fort of the horses’; however, the placenames commission records the Irish name as yet to be confirmed (ibid.). Westropp (1915, 251) recorded it as a ‘small rectangular fort of good masonry [with] boldly rounded corners... [and noted] there are no forts inside, and the north side is much injured, as a modern house lies in ruins near it. The walls are well laid slab work, and are 5 to 6 feet high in the south’. A moderately well-preserved, square cashel (int. dims 26.4m N-S; 26.6m E-W) defined by an internally and externally faced wall (Wth 4.6m; int. H 0.4-1.5m), with an entrance through a fine lintelled doorway (Wth 1.5m; H 1.4m over 0.4m of rubble) in the chamfered SE corner and a small projection or outshot formed by another rectangular building (CL005-063002-) at the NW corner. A second rectangular building (CL005-063003-) is located c. 7m N, just south of which lies an earthfast, medieval, architectural fragment (CL005-063004-). An internal dividing wall runs N-S, W of centre, a later pen is built onto the exterior at E and the entire complex is set within a larger oval enclosure (CL005-063005-). Another enclosure (CL005-064----) is located c. 150m S.

Built into the NW corner of a moderately well-preserved square cashel (CL005-063----). A rectangular stone building (8m E-W; 5.2m N-S) defined by a double-faced wall (Wth 0.9m; H 1.2m) at E and S, and elsewhere by collapsed stone spread. It projects N (c. 1.8m) from the E-W line of the N wall of the cashel. Another rectangular building (CL005-063003-) and a medieval architectural fragment (CL005-063004-) are located c. 7m to the N. Westropp (1915, 251) appears to have believed this to be a relatively modern house, but it may be of late medieval date. Compiled by: Mary Tunney and Ros Ó Maoldúin Date of upload: 27 September 2022

Everytownland reads the registered freehold land and the statutory boundaries of Tailte Éireann, the national zoning, planning file and heritage records of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, and the Residential Property Price Register. A parcel is the land of a title, not an address. The owner's name is in the Land Registry of Tailte Éireann: a copy of the folio can be ordered on landdirect.ie, for a fee; this site names no owner. A price is the price recorded for a past sale, not a valuation.
