What is recorded here

Enclosure in Lisín An Óráin is a vanished fort on a SW-facing slope in County Galway, marked only as a hachured circle on old surveys. No wall, ditch or stone remains visible because the land has been recently forested. The enclosure may have stood as a small defended place where people watched the valley, kept fire light or marked a boundary. Now the trees hold what the survey once drew, and the fort lives more in imagination than in soil.

On SW-facing slope. Marked on OS Fair Plan as a hachured circle and labelled 'Fort' but not marked on OS 6-inch maps. No visible surface trace survives; the area has been recently forested. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
