Lisnabasty

On an E-facing slope in grassland. Poorly preserved roughly circular rath (D c. 43m) defined by a bank and external fosse. The bank is present from SSW through W to NNE and is breached by numerous gaps; elsewhere a scarp forms the enclosing element. Quarrying has encroached upon the fosse from ESE to SSW. A number of internal divisions are visible within the interior, and in S half a CBG (GA086-052001-). The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
