What is recorded here

Lisheenapreaghaun was a circular stone fort beside Galway Bay, erased during 1950s reclamation after field rubble hid its walls. Local memory preserves an underground passage nearby, suggesting the site gave up more than ordinary pasture. Its disappearance turns the land into a quiet trap, inviting people to imagine chambers, doors and lives lost beneath soil that now grows grass.

In pastureland, c. 150m to the NE of the shores of Galway Bay. Marked on the 1933 edition of the OS 6-inch map as a roughly circular enclosure (diam. c. 25m) and classified by McCaffrey (1952, 200) as a ‘Stone fort (?)’ which was obscured by field rubble. According to local information, a possible Man-made underground passage (GA103-152001-) is associated. The monument was levelled during land reclamation in the 1950s and no visible surface trace survives. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 27 February 2018
