What is recorded here

Ancestral hands built Lissananny's rath on a grassy rise, enclosing a pond that still holds the sky. The earth bank has surrendered much of its shape to time and rainfall, leaving only a faint southern curve beside a modern ditch. Yet the pond remains, a liquid mirror inside the forgotten wall, suggesting the fort was never empty but filled with water and life.

On a rise in otherwise low-lying grassland. Very poorly preserved originally subcircular rath (E-W c. 35m) defined by a degraded bank from ESE through S to W, outside of which runs a modern ditch. No visible surface trace survives elsewhere. There is a large pond within the interior. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
