What is recorded here

Fairy fort in Lissavally (jackson), County Galway, holds two thin banks and a narrow ditch, broken by a field bank and almost gone. It sits 350m NE of another ringfort, as if the land kept more than one circle before forgetting most of them. What remains is small enough to walk through in a breath, yet large enough to suggest that people, or something older, drew a line around themselves and waited.

Some 350m NE of a ringfort (GA029-116----). Very poorly preserved rath defined by two banks and an intervening fosse which survive only from W to N, where a field bank cuts the monument. No visible surface trace survives elsewhere, apart from a 5m section of bank at NE which may be associated. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
