What is recorded here
Caheradanpagh is a partially buried fairy fort on a Limerick slope, its seventy-metre circle reduced to a low earthen scar and a farm track. The landowner levelled the bank in 1975, scattering ancient soil across the valley overlook. What remains is a boundary ridge and a faint dipped edge, holding the shape of a room the region stopped remembering.
In pasture, on SSW-facing slope overlooking valley of River Feale. Monument, depicted as roughly circular enclosure (diam. c. 70m) on 1923 OS 6-inch map, has been partially levelled. Enclosing element survives as earthen bank (H 2.15m) ENE->SSE where it forms part of field boundary system, and is evident as very-slight scarped edge (H 0.15m; Wth c. 6m) NNE->ENE (giving diameter of c. 68m). On W side line of enclosing element overlain by farm passageway. Interior, under pasture, slopes down to S. According to landowner enclosing element levelled c. 1975 and material derived from it used as fill for farm passageway.
