What is recorded here

Lisnaleen is a faded fairy fort in County Galway, Ireland, where a drystone wall and degraded scarp still trace a subcircle forty metres wide. It sits a hundred metres southwest of a larger ringfort, half swallowed by grass and forgotten by most travellers. The stones may have marked a human home before becoming a fairy tale, but the boundary remains visible enough to touch and remember.

Some 100m SW of a ringfort (GA005-028----). An overgrown poorly preserved subcircular cashel (E-W 45m, N-S 40m) defined for the most part by a drystone wall overlain by a field boundary. At S a degraded scarp forms the enclosing element. (Neary 1914, 117, no. 61) The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
