Fairy fort / stone ringfort

What is recorded here

In level pastureland. Classified by McCaffrey (1952, 238, no. 119) as a circular ‘Stone fort’ defined by a double-faced wall. A slight rise (H 0.3m) in the field level now indicates the outline of the enclosing element of this cashel (diam. 36m). Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 18 January 2018
Lisnagranshy is a likely early-medieval ringfort, characterized by a double-faced stone wall and a slight central rise, typical of such defensive or agricultural enclosures in Ireland. While specific folklore is not recorded, like many such sites, it may have later been associated with local fairy tradition due to its ancient and enigmatic nature.
