Lisfea

In undulating grassland. Subcircular rath (N-S 32m, E-W 30m), in fair condition, defined by a bank and shallow external fosse; the latter survives from SW through W to N. A roadway cuts the monument at NE and SE, to E of which no visible surface trace survives. Quarrying has disturbed the enclosing elements from N to NE. A ringfort (GA087-098----) lies c. 150m to NE. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
