What is recorded here

Fairy fort in Lissanacody, County Galway: a shallow earthen ring on a sun-warmed slope, partly cut by a road and partly ploughed away. What remains is a ghost of a boundary, yet large enough to have held a house, a herd or a family's pride. The land has taken back most of it, leaving only a hint of the circle for those who still look.

On a S-facing slope in grassland. When inspected in June 1984 this very poorly preserved subcircular rath (36m NE-SW; 34m NW-SE) was defined by a bank. A road cut across it from NW to SE. On re-inspection in October 2012 the bank was only visible to the NE of the road; to the SW it had been recently ploughed out.
