What is recorded here

Lissaverny is a well-preserved fairy fort in County Galway, Ireland, where a subcircular earthen bank rises forty-six metres across level grassland. Two gaps face north and south, inviting entry into a space that may hide a man-made underground passage. Another ringfort waits immediately to the northeast, suggesting the land once belonged to neighbours rather than a single occupant. The grassland holds no marker, no warning and no explanation, only the quiet pressure of a place that has kept its shape while forgetting its name.

In level grassland. Well-preserved subcircular rath (N-S 46m, E-W 37.5m) defined by a bank. A field bank encircles the monument from SW to NW. Either of two gaps at N and S could be original. Thereis a probable Man-made underground passage (GA028-036001-) in the interior. Immediately NE is another ringfort (GA028-035----).
