The Ordnance Survey six-inch maps, those meticulous nineteenth-century records of the Irish landscape, mark a circular enclosure here, roughly thirty-five metres in diameter. On the ground today, nothing whatsoever remains to be seen.

Circular enclosures of this kind are among the most common archaeological features in the Irish countryside. Many are the remains of ringforts, known in Irish as raths or cashels depending on whether they were built from earth or stone, and they were typically used as enclosed farmsteads during the early medieval period, roughly between the fifth and twelfth centuries. Others may be far older. The Liscune example was recorded in the Archaeological Inventory of County Galway, compiled by Olive Alcock, Kathy de hÓra, and Paul Gosling and published in 1999, which catalogued features visible at the time of the OS survey but since lost. In this case, the enclosure had already vanished from the surface by the time the inventory was compiled, surviving only as a cartographic ghost, a circle drawn by a surveyor who could still see what later generations cannot.
