What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Lissyconor is a poorly preserved subcircular rath on a grassland rise in County Galway, Ireland. Its degraded scarp still marks a broad oval, while a later field wall climbs part of the south and west edge. The northern gap may be original, leaving the place open to weather, memory and imagination.
