What is recorded here

Liskelly is a ruined circular fort on a southern Galway slope, its low bank broken by modern gaps but still drawing a line across the grass. It is the kind of place where human urgency and fairy patience collide, for the fort belongs to neither ordinary farm nor forgotten history. A person may have stood inside it at dusk, listening for the distinction between wind and warning.

On a S-facing slope in grassland. Poorly preserved circular rath (D 37m) defined by a low bank from SE through S to SW, and by a scarp elsewhere. The bank is breached by a number of modern gaps. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
