What is recorded here
Fairy fort in Lissadulta, County Galway: a circular rath about thirty metres across, with two banks and a deep fosse between them. It sits on a north-west slope above a stream, partly erased at the south-west but still clear enough to walk around. The linked underground passage suggests people did more than pile earth; they shaped the hill for entry, watching, or memory.
On a NW-facing slope in pastureland, to the NE of a stream. This heavily overgrown circular rath (diam. c. 30m) is defined by two banks of earth and stone and an intervening fosse. The inner bank is best preserved in the N half. The fosse is deep and wide and the outer bank is well preserved except at SW where some erosion has occurred. A Man-made underground passage (GA114-119001-) is associated.
