What is recorded here

Liscormack is a circular ringfort in County Galway where local tradition claims an underground tunnel runs toward the centre, though no surface trace remains. The overgrown earth bank and external fosse still mark its western edge, suggesting the site resisted complete erasure even when its hidden passage vanished from sight. That absence makes the fort feel less like a ruined structure and more like a living trap, waiting for someone stubborn enough to dig beneath the grass.

In undulating grassland. Circular ringfort (D c. 30m), in fair condition, defined by a very overgrown bank of earth and stone and an external fosse. The bank survives from SW through W to NW; elsewhere a scarp forms the enclosing element. There is a local tradition of an 'underground tunnel' (possible Man-made underground passage) in S half of the interior which reputedly runs towards the centre. No visible surface trace survives.
