Fairy fort / stone ringfort in Liss (clare By.)

Fairy fort / stone ringfort

What is recorded here

That is a fairy fort or stone ringfort in Liss (clare By.). It is a circular cashel about thirty metres across, with a low drystone wall running from the northeast through the south to the west. A field boundary cuts across its southern and western parts, and the rest has faded so much that little trace remains above the grass.
In low-lying grassland. Very poorly preserved circular cashel (D c. 30m) defined by a low drystone wall from NE through S to W; no visible surface trace survives elsewhere. A field boundary cuts the monument at S and W. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'. Compiled by Olive Alcock, Kathy de hÓra and Paul Gosling (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1999). Date of upload: 05 August 2010
