This immediate area is well known locally as the Round Hill of Lismore. Hidden in the trees is the site of a motte and bailey castle, built by King John of England in the late 12th century. The bailey was a fenced yard containing most of the castle building. A narrow footbridge rose from here to the motte, a carefully layered mound topped with a tower, or hall, or both. In 1185 King John built three new castles to protect the borders of his province in East Munster at, Ardfinnan, Co. Tipperary, Dungarvan and here at Lismore Co. Waterford. The motte and castle at Round Hill were built of timber and earth. These structures were quick to build but the wood rotted over time and usually replaced with stone structures, but was never replaced at Round Hill. King John chose this hilltop site by a river crossing 1.6km down-stream of the old monastic town of Lismore, and may have intended to create a new town. However, this motte and Bailey castle was overrun and abandoned four years after it was constructed. Lismore continued to grow at its original location around the cathedral of St. Carthach or Mochuds. In time a stone building was erected near the Cathedral and this developed into the Lismore Castle as we know today. Lismore Heritage Centre adopted the Round hill as part of the Heritage Councils Adopt Monument Scheme in 2016 and reports have been gathered on the history, geology, geomorphology and ecology of the site, and a small geophysical survey was carried out in 2016 and 2017.
