What is recorded here

Lisnahattina is a vanished fairy fort in Galway pastureland, reduced to a shallow dip that deceives the foot into remembering what the eye has forgotten. Its twenty-metre circle resisted every plough and flood, suggesting the ground itself refused to release the shape. Humans may have built it before the fairies claimed it, or the fairies may have shaped it before humans learned to see circles at all.

In low-lying pastureland. Marked on the 1838 edition of the OS 6-inch map as a small circular enclosure (diam. c. 20m). Apart from a very slight dip in the field surface, no visible surface trace survives. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 18 February 2019
