What is recorded here

Lislea is a circular rath on the NE-facing slope of a hill in County Galway, where two banks and a hidden fosse still trace a forty-metre circle through low-lying pastureland. The inner bank runs from north through south to west-northwest, while the outer bank appears only from southeast to south, as if the fort kept its shape but refused to be fully seen. A person walking that slope at dawn would find shadow catching the ditch and grass pressing against the earthen wall, making the old boundary feel alive rather than dead.

On the NE-facing slope of a hill in low-lying pastureland. This circular rath (diam. c. 40m), in fair condition, is defined by two banks and an intervening fosse. The inner bank is extant from N through S to WNW; elsewhere a scarp forms the enclosing element. The fosse is visible from SE through S to WSW while the outer bank only survives from SE to S.
