Lisnapisha

Fairy fort / ringfort

What is recorded here

Lisnapisha is a poorly preserved ringfort in County Galway, Ireland, located 320m southeast of another fort. Its 48m diameter circle survives through a bank and scarp, with a vegetation band hinting at a hidden ditch. The land holds two quiet circles, one fading into field and memory.
Some 320m SE of a ringfort (GA047-037----) poorly preserved circular rath (D 48m) defined by a bank overlain by a field bank from S through W to N; elsewhere a scarp forms the enclosing element. A band of vegetation, outside the scarp face at W, may indicate the line of an external fosse. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'. Compiled by Olive Alcock, Kathy de hÓra and Paul Gosling (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1999). Date of upload: 05 August 2010
