What is recorded here

Lisduff is a ruined circular cashel in County Galway, its stone wall now buried under pasture and forgetting. The field wall cuts through the ring like a knife through a mouth, suggesting the land itself refused to keep the shape. What was built there has been half-erased, leaving only a round shadow in the grass and a name that still points to the gap.
In an area of pastureland. Poorly preserved circular cashel (diam. 38m) defined by a drystone wall obscured by field-clearance rubble and dense overgrowth. A field wall cuts across the monument at N and S. (Redington 1916a, 55; McCaffrey 1952, 160, no. 53) Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 8 January 2018
