Fairy fort / stone ringfort in Lisheenacrannagh

Fairy fort / stone ringfort

What is recorded here

Lisheenacrannagh: A 34m stone ringfort on a Galway hillside, its walls collapsed under grass and a modern field wall. The ruin sits inside the fort, not outside it, as if the old boundary still owns the new life.
On the NW-facing slope of a low hill. Poorly preserved circular cashel (diam. 34m) defined by a collapsed grassed-over drystone wall, intervening fosse and a low grassed-over outer wall at SE. A modern field wall overlies the inner wall from N to E and some inner stone-facing is visible at SW. A gap (Wth 2m) at SSE may be original. Within the NNE sector of the interior is a ruined house (GA122-112001-). Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 12 July 2017
