What is recorded here
Lissavullan is a vanished Galway ringfort, recorded in 1838 as a 32m circular enclosure on a west-facing grassland slope. It was partially levelled before the 1944-5 map revision, erasing the surface trace people could once walk around. The outline still appears in aerial imagery, preserving the shape of a place that stopped being obvious to the living.
On a W-facing slope in grassland. Marked on the 1838 edition of the OS 6-inch map as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 32m); partially levelled on the 1944-5 revision of the map. No visible surface trace survives. However, its outline is clearly visible on the OSi digitalglobe aerial photograph.
