What is recorded here

Lisnafarnoga is a ruined fairy fort in West Galway where a road and quarry have cut through ancient earth. It remains a circular memory in level grassland, large enough to hold people or exclude them depending on the night. The missing sections do not erase the shape; they invite imagination to complete what measurement stopped recording.

In level grassland. Poorly preserved circular rath (D c. 31.5m) defined by a bank and external fosse, no visible surface trace of which survives from WSW through N to NE where a road cuts the monument. A quarry encroaches upon it from NE to E. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
