What is recorded here

Lissagarrymore is a fading oval rath on a Galway slope, its two banks and central ditch barely visible through grass. The northern gap may have been the entrance, but time and field work have erased most of the shape. What remains is a hint of human hands, not a clear building.

On a gentle SE-facing slope in pastureland. Very poorly preserved oval rath (E-W 66.5m) defined by two banks and an intervening fosse from WNW through E to S. No visible surface trace survives elsewhere. A faint causewayed gap at NNE may indicate the original entrance. A later field bank follows the line of outer bank from WNW to N. A (CBG) (GA029-059001-) is associated. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
