What is recorded here

Lisnaraha is a vanished Galway ringfort, remembered only in a fairy name and a faded map line. The ground has taken back the stone, leaving pasture and silence where a small fort once stood.
In pastureland. Marked on the OS 6-inch maps as a subcircular enclosure (c. 35m NE-SW; c. 32m NW-SE). No visible surface trace survives. The cartographic evidence and name suggest that it was a ringfort, possibly a cashel. Another possible cashel was located c. 310m to the NNE.
