What is recorded here

Fairy fort in Lisnageeragh, County Galway: a subcircular earthen ringfort, about thirty-seven metres east-west and thirty-five and a half metres north-south, set on a grassy rise above bogland. It has two banks with a ditch between them, still readable in the field. Local tradition also names a hidden cave inside, perhaps a made passage now lost beneath the ground.

On a rise in grassland overlooking bogland to N and S. Subcircular rath (E-W 37m, N-S 35.5m), in fair condition, defined by two banks and an intervening fosse. According to local tradition, there is a 'cave' (possible Man-made underground passage) within the interior; no visible surface trace survives. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
