What is recorded here
Lisnagry’s oval rath still stands in open grassland, its earthen bank and outer ditch marking a small fortress from the distant past. The northern entrance gap invites entry, while a faint depression in the northwest quadrant hints at a hidden passage beneath the turf. People may have lived, hidden or worshipped inside that circle before the fields swallowed the broader townland.
In grassland. An oval rath (c. 40m NW-SE; c. 30m NE-SW), in fair condition, defined by a bank and external fosse. There is an entrance gap at NNE. A field boundary runs beside the outer limits of the fosse from WSW to NW. A linear depression in the NW quadrant may mark the site of a Man-made underground passage (GA106-119001-).
