What is recorded here

Lisheenoday is a broken fairy fort in Galway pastureland, its earthen bank surviving only from south through west to north while field walls cut across the remains. A blocked underground passage lies hidden in the northwest quadrant, and a barrow rests fifty metres to the southwest, suggesting the site served both the living and the dead. The missing eastern edge may have vanished under ploughs or may never have been built, leaving the circle open to the sky and whatever walks through it at night.

In rolling pastureland. Poorly preserved subcircular rath (23.7m N-S) defined by a bank from S through W to N. A field wall cuts across the monument at N and S and no visible surface trace of the enclosing element survives to E of it. Within NW quadrant of the interior is a blocked-up Man-made underground passage (GA104-008001-). A barrow (GA104-109----) lies c. 50m to SW.
