What is recorded here

Lisbunawausa is a fairy fort in County Galway, Ireland. Its two banks and central ditch still mark a wide oval on a grassy rise, though field boundaries have cut through the western edge. The eastern entrance remains visible, inviting imagination about the people who lived there before the land changed around them.

On a slight rise in grassland. Poorly preserved subcircular rath (E-W 51m, N-S 43m) defined by two banks and an intervening fosse. A field boundary cuts the monument at NW and SE, to SW of which no visible surface trace of the outer bank survives. There is an entrance at NE. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
