What is recorded here

Quarrying and field walls have cut through Lisna-geeragh, leaving a bruised oval of grass where two degraded banks once held the world at a distance. The rath still measures thirty-six metres across, large enough for a household, a herd or a hidden treaty, yet small enough to vanish when people stopped remembering it. What was taken from its edges may have been gold, stone or years of life, but the grassland keeps the shape of the wound.

In gently undulating grassland. Poorly preserved roughly oval rath (E-W 36m, N-S 31m) defined by two degraded banks and an intervening fosse. The outer bank survives from NW to N. Quarrying has disturbed the enclosing elements at N and S. A field wall cuts the monument at SW and NW.
