What is recorded here

Marianne and the hidden chamber: Lisgub East holds a subcircular rath fifty-four metres long on a grassy rise. Its bank still marks the southern edge while a scarp closes the rest, suggesting people shaped the land before forgetting what the chamber contained. Marianne’s chamber may have stored seed, tool or memory for the valley; the earth kept the shape even when the names disappeared.

On a rise in grassland. Poorly preserved subcircular rath (N-S 54m, E-W 51m) defined by a bank and external fosse. The bank survives from SE through S to SW; elsewhere a scarp forms the enclosing element. No visible surface trace of the fosse survives from NE through E to SE. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
