Two ringforts, SMR 4:7, known as ‘Lisglass’, and SMR 4:8, known as ‘Lisroe’, bound the site at Tulla Beg, Ballybunion. Seven trenches were excavated by machine. Five were opened in the vicinity of Lisroe. These revealed the ditch of the ringfort and an outer possible palisade trench. Two trenches were opened in the area of Lisglass uncovering a broad shallow ditch encircling the site and a possible berm between the bank and ditch. No previously unrecorded archaeological sites were identified in the archaeological walkover and assessment of the entire site.
