What is recorded here

A field wall cuts through the eastern and western banks of the Lissard fairy fort, reducing the ancient boundary to a broken circle. Yet the central earthwork stands twenty-eight metres wide, holding its shape beside another ringfort only one hundred and seventy-five metres away. The causeway still points east, inviting entry into a space where human hands shaped the soil long before modern fences arrived.

In NE part of a field system (GA073-081002-). Well-preserved circular rath (D 28m) defined by two banks and an intervening fosse. There is an entrance causeway (Wth 2m) at E. A field wall cuts the monument at E and W. A ringfort (GA073-081001-) lies 175m to NE. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
