What is recorded here

Lissaniska is a well-preserved ringfort in County Galway, Ireland, where an earthen bank and external ditch have marked a family boundary for well over a thousand years. Its broad south-east entrance suggests livestock moved through the enclosure rather than soldiers marching to war. A hidden underground passage in the northeast quadrant invites speculation about what people stored, hid or prayed beneath the pasture. The fort still holds its shape in level fields, waiting for someone to walk its causeway and imagine the hands that built it.

In level pastureland. Circular rath (diam. c. 40m), in fair condition, defined by a bank and external fosse; the latter is only visible from SW through W to NE. A roughly E-W running field boundary clips the rath at S. There is a Man-made underground passage (GA106-077001-) in the NE quadrant of the interior.
