What is recorded here

Lisnagalhagh is a Galway fairy fort where the border between human and hidden life became a thin ridge of grass. Its shallow ring still marks the place even though most of the earth wall has vanished into field and sky. People may have lived there, fled there or simply refused to walk through it. The fort does not need a date or a owner to keep its shape in memory.

On a ridge in grassland. Poorly preserved subcircular rath (33m N-S; 29.5m E-W) defined by a scarp from ESE through S to NW. No visible surface trace of the enclosing element survives from NW through E to ESE but its line is preserved in a curving field wall from NW to NE. A low earthen mound in N sector of the interior appears to be natural. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 11 January 2018
