Lisnaraha is a poorly preserved subcircular ringfort, likely dating to the early medieval period, situated on a north-facing slope in County Clare. Local tradition associates such sites with fairy dwellings, and the name "Lisnaraha" may reflect this folklore, though specific historical or legendary connections are not recorded.
