What is recorded here

Thirty-six metres of forgotten boundary still circles the ridge summit in Lisheennaheltia, though a modern road has cut through its southern edge. The remaining earth bank and scarp suggest a place set aside for human life, perhaps marked by ritual or residence before the landscape changed. It is no longer a complete fort, but the circle remains large enough to imagine inside.

On a ridge summit in undulating grassland. Poorly preserved circular rath (D 36m) defined by a bank from SSW through W to NE; elsewhere a scarp forms the enclosing element. A road cuts the monument at S. (Knight c. 1975, 111; Conway c. 1980, 15) The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
