What is recorded here

Lissaboreed is a subcircular rath in Galway grassland, measuring thirty-six by thirty-two metres, with two banks and a central ditch. Quarrying scarred the eastern edge, but the northwest bank still stands firm beside the stream. The fair condition suggests human hands shaped it long before modern tools broke its circle.

In grassland, c. 200m N of a stream. Subcircular overgrown rath (NE-SW 36m, NW-SE 32m), in fair condition, defined by two banks and an intervening fosse. The outer bank is best preserved at NW. Quarrying has disturbed the fosse and outer bank from E to SE. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
