What is recorded here

Lisglass was a circular earthen fort nearly fifty-two metres across, sitting on a southwest-facing slope above Galway marshland before a field wall sliced through its heart and ploughing erased the rest. It is gone now except in measurement and memory, yet the land still holds the shape of what stood there: a ring of soil built by human hands, cut open by human hands again.

On a SW-facing slope in pastureland, overlooking marshland to the SW. Classified by McCaffrey (1952, 139, no. 32) as a circular ‘Earthen fort’ (diam. c. 51.8m) cut by a field wall from E to W; the ‘entire northern portion’ of it had been 'destroyed' but traces of the levelled bank were visible in the field to the N of the bisecting wall. No visible surface trace survives. (Athy 1914, 134) Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 14 December 2017
