  1. In Mr Noonans land at Cregg Fermoy Co Cork there is a liss. It is circular in shape and is surrounded by two earthen banks, with a channel of water running between them.
    In the centre of this liss there is a hole entering an underground tunnel leading to a liss in Mr Shinicks land at Templenoe Fermoy.
    Those two lisses are in view of one another. There is about a quarter of a mile between them.
    The Danes were supposed to have those lisses long ago. There is nothing told of any-body supposed to have interfered with those lisses.
