What is recorded here

Lisseeny is a well-preserved fairy fort in County Galway, Ireland, where two earth banks and a central ditch form a subcircular ring on a gentle slope. Its eastern entrance remains clear, while quarrying has bitten into the western edge, proving that human hunger for stone still competes with memory. The grassland holds no modern marker, only the pressure of shape beneath the feet.

On a NE-facing slope in low-lying grassland. Well-preserved subcircular rath (N-S 44.5m, E-W 40m) defined by two banks and an intervening fosse. The outer bank has traces of inner stone-facing at E. Quarrying has encroached upon the enclosing elements at WSW. Well-defined entrance at ESE. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
