On a NNW-facing slope in undulating terrain, Lyre Glen runs c. 20-30m to the W. A roughly circular ringfort (diam. 38.5m N-S; E-W based on OS 6-inch map is c. 30m) enclosed by an earthen bank (Wth 1.8m; int. H 1m; ext. H 0.2m) with a high stone content and evidence of a stone revettment. In the W quadrant the bank is reduced to scarp (H c. 3m). The monument is known locally as the 'Lis'. The ringfort is heavily overgrown with scrub both on the banks and in the interior. There is a gap in the bank in the SSW quadrant. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011

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.
