What is recorded here

Lisheendoodan is a ruined stone ring in Galway grassland, wide enough to circle twice before returning to the starting point. Its wall has faded under fields and overgrowth, but a hidden passage still cuts through the north-west interior. People may have lived there, fled there or forgotten it entirely; the stones no longer answer which.

In level grassland. Poorly preserved circular cashel (diam. 47m) defined by a drystone wall from NE through S to WSW; it is overlain by a field wall from NE to E. From WSW to NE its outline is difficult to determine due to dense overgrowth and the presence of another field wall which may overlie it. A gap at SE appears to be modern. There is a Man-made underground passage (GA103-049001-) in the NW quadrant of the interior.
