What is recorded here

Lisboo is a subcircular rath in County Galway, Ireland, where earthen banks and a fosse still mark a dwelling place above Grey Lough. Its NE annexe widens the fort into a larger lived space, while field walls cut through the ancient line. People may have kept fire, tools or memory there beside the water, but no named event survives in the facts given.

On a rise in low-lying grassland overlooking Grey Lough to W. Subcircular rath (E-W 34m, N-S 31m), in fair condition, defined by an inner scarp, intervening fosse and outer bank; no visible surface trace of the latter survives at N. A field wall cuts the monument at NW and SE. Adjoining the bank at NE is a semicircular annexe (E-W 27.5m) defined by two earthen banks and an intervening fosse.
