What is recorded here

Liservin is a subcircular fairy fort in County Galway, measuring twenty-seven and a half metres north to south and twenty-six metres east to west. Its earth bank survives best from the southeast through the south to the southwest, while a two-metre gap at the southwest may mark the original entrance. The site sits low in gently undulating grassland fifty metres west of a stream, where quarrying has disturbed the eastern bank but the southern curve still holds its shape.

In a low-lying position in gently undulating grassland, c. 50m W of a stream. Subcircular rath (N-S 27.5m, E-W 26m), in fair condition, defined by a bank best preserved from SE through S to SW. A band of vegetation evident from S through W to NE may indicate an external fosse. A gap (Wth 2m) at SW could be original. Quarrying has disturbed the bank from ENE through E to SE. An enclosure (GA087-102----) lies c. 270m to W. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
