What is recorded here

Lisnacrowbaun is a fairy fort and earthen ringfort in County Galway, Ireland. It stands on a north-facing slope in grassland, its subcircular shape stretching fifty-seven metres from north-northeast to south-southwest. A bank and external fosse define the site, with field walls now cutting through the monument. The place belongs to the old world of Galway, where human hands shaped the earth before memory faded.
