What is recorded here

Lisnamurragh is a ruined fairy fort in County Mayo, Ireland. Its earthen bank and shallow ditch still mark a broad circle on the grassy slope, though soil and time have worn part of the edge flat. People may have lived there, feared the fairies, or simply passed beside it; the land no longer answers that question.

In pasture, on SE-facing slope. Roughly circular area (50m N-S; 44m E-W), enclosed by remains of earthen bank (H 0.7m) SE to NNW, with external fosse (D 0.4m) SE to NE. Bank and fosse levelled NE to SE. The above description has been derived from D. Lavelle (compiler), An Archaeological Survey of Ballinrobe and District including Lough Mask and Lough Carra.

Lisnamurragh is a ringfort, likely dating to the early medieval period, situated on a sloping pasture with a partially surviving earthen bank and fosse. Local tradition associates such sites with fairy lore, and this fort may have been considered a dwelling place of the "good people" in folklore.
