What is recorded here
Lisnadreeglee is a forty-metre circular rath on a Galway hillside, locally named The Fort of the Three Shouts. Its two banks and fosses still stand despite quarrying at the south and northwest, while a northern entrance faces the low grassland. The name suggests people once believed three shouts could be heard there, giving the ordinary earthworks a voice in the dark.
On N-facing slope of a hill in low-lying grassland. Known locally as The Fort of the Three Shouts' (Neary 1914, 112-13, no. 116), this well-preserved circular rath (D 40m) is defined by an inner scarp, two banks and two intervening fosses. Quarrying has encroached upon the enclosing elements at S and NW. A field bank overlies the outermost bank at NNW. There is an entrance at N. A ringfort (GA017-057----) lies c. 400m to NW.
