Lisduff (Irish: Lios Dubh, meaning 'black fort') is a townland in County Cork, Ireland. Historical records list Lisduffe from the Down Survey dated 1655.[1][2] The Record of Monuments and Places contains two entries in the Lisduff area; a millstone and a ringfort.[3]

Ringfort

The ringfort is described as a circular area approximately 34 meters in diameter defined by a 1.7 meter scarp with the interior rising towards centre.[4] Damage to the southwest portion can be viewed from satellite imagery.[5]
