Whilst driving along I past a sign for Lisda Rush Ring Fort, so I thought I would check it out. I drove down the lane and saw a farmer turning the hay in a field. I walked across to him, excahnged pleasantries and started to ask, "Can you tell me where the ring ...". It was at this moment that I realised we were standing in the middle of a very, very circular field! How embarassing!

The fort is about 100m in diameter. It is defined on the east and north sides by the track, while on the south and west side the bank proper is still very clear.
