What is recorded here

Lisnaskeha was a ringfort in flat Galway pastureland, recorded on maps in 1838 and 1929 but no longer visible, suggesting its stones or earthwork disappeared before modern photography. The name and shape point to a cashel, likely a fortified home or refuge near Lough Rea. It may have been abandoned, broken up for building stone, or simply buried under grass and time.

In flat pastureland, c. 400m to the S of Lough Rea. Marked on the 1838 edition of the OS 6-inch map as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 30m); on the 1929 resurvey it is indicated by a line of hachures from SSW through W to N and is more subrectangular in plan. No visible surface trace survives. The cartographic evidence and name suggest it was a ringfort, possibly a cashel. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 11 March 2019
