What is recorded here

Lisnabrocka is a ruined ringfort on a Galway hill, its stone wall collapsed into grass and its boundary marked only by a shallow scarp. The main circle measures barely twenty-four metres across, with a smaller annexe clinging to the east side like a forgotten room. Field walls fade westward into the land, suggesting people once lived here before the stones sank back into the earth.

On a hill summit in undulating grassland. This poorly preserved cashel consists of an almost circular area (NW-SE c. 24.2m, NE-SW c. 23.5m) defined by a collapsed grassed-over drystone wall from E through S to N, and by a scarp from N to E. An irregularly shaped annexe (c. 13m by c. 9m), defined by a grass-covered collapsed stone wall, abuts the cashel wall at E. Traces of old field walls are visible to W.
