What is recorded here

Lisbunarooa is a circular fairy fort in County Galway, Ireland. It measures fifty-one metres across and keeps two earth banks with a hollow between them. A narrow gap at the south may be the original entrance, while stone fragments still show on the outer edge. The fort stands in level grassland, waiting for people to imagine who lived inside or why the fe fairies chose that exact circle.

In level grassland. Circular rath (diam. 51.1m), in fair condition, defined by two banks and an intervening fosse. Traces of stone-facing are evident on the outer bank at SE. A causewayed entrance gap (Wth 2.3m) at S may be original. (McCaffrey 1952, 187, no. 45) Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 18 January 2017
