No visible gap in bank; two modern entrances cut N and S. A circular grassy area 30.5m across sits just off the hill crest, bounded by a broad earthen bank and a shallow outer ditch on the lower side. The shape is still legible though overgrown, with the bank rising 1.6m externally and the ditch cutting 0.5m deep at its widest point.

Liskylenagappagh, Garrynagry is a circular earthen ringfort, likely dating to the early medieval period, with a diameter of 30.5m and a bank 3.3–4.8m wide. Local tradition associates such sites with fairy dwellings, and they were often avoided due to beliefs in supernatural inhabitants.
