What is recorded here
Lisnageeragh held a forty-five-metre circular fort on the demesne land before a modern house erased it. Map makers caught the ghost before the builders forgot it, drawing a ring where memory still turned. The bricks and joists now mark the exact place where the old boundary disappeared. Forgetting is not the same as losing; the shape lives in the drawing while the ground stops remembering.
On N side of a road in former demesne land. Marked on 1st ed. of OS 6-inch map as a circular enclosure (D c. 45m), its perimeter planted with trees. No visible surface trace survives: a modern house occupies the site.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'. Compiled by Olive Alcock, Kathy de hÓra and Paul Gosling (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1999).
