What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Lisnageeragh (ed Ballymoe) stands close to a hill summit in County Galway. Its subcircular bank measures 34.8m north-south and 32m east-west, with an eastern gap that appears original. Two hollows mark the outside at northwest and south-southeast, while another enclosure lies 130m to the northwest. The shape suggests people lived, worked or excluded others within a small visible boundary.
