What is recorded here

In level grassland. Circular rath (diam. 51.1m), in fair condition, defined by two banks and an intervening fosse. Traces of stone-facing are evident on the outer bank at SE. A causewayed entrance gap (Wth 2.3m) at S may be original. (McCaffrey 1952, 187, no. 45) Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 18 January 2017
Lisbunarooa, Caherpeak West is a circular ringfort, likely dating to the early medieval period, characterized by two banks and a fosse with traces of stone-facing. Local folklore, though not detailed in records, often associates such sites with fairy realms or ancient druidic activity.
