What is recorded here

Lisnabanan is a worn circular rath in Galway grassland, marked by two banks and a shallow ditch near the Dalgan and Sinking Rivers. A road has cut through its south side, yet the southwest gap remains untouched, preserving the shape of an entrance rather than a wound. The fort has lost much of its edge to time and traffic, but it still stands as a quiet ring where human hands once shaped the land into a place for living, keeping or remembering.

In grassland to N of the junction of the Dalgan and Sinking Rivers. Poorly preserved circular rath (D 26m) defined by two banks and an intervening fosse. The enclosing elements have been disturbed from N to NE, and a road cuts the outer bank at S. A gap at SSW appears original.
