What is recorded here

Lisnacanreen was a circular fairy fort thirty-four metres across in Galway grassland, but field-reclamation works flattened its visible rim between 1983 and 1987. The land swallowed the marker while memory and aerial shadow kept the circle alive. Forgetting is not death when the shape still appears above the grass.

In undulating grassland. Marked on the OS 6-inch maps as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 34m). When initially visited by the Survey in April 1983 all that survived of this rath was a platform curving from E through S to SW. On re-inspection in March 1987 no visible surface trace survived; it had been levelled as a result of field-reclamation works. However, its outline is visible on the OSi digitalglobe aerial photograph (Google 2018). A field system (GA099-174002-) may be associated.
