What is recorded here

Cliff-edge fort in Moneymohill stands on the west bank of a Limerick stream, using a six-metre cliff and earthen bank to enclose a small circular space. Someone shaped that edge long ago, perhaps watching water or keeping livestock from the drop. The fort still holds its shape beneath grass, quiet but deliberate, while a similar enclosure waits across the stream.

In gently undulating pasture, on the W side of a stream. A roughly circular area (20m N-S; 21.5m E-W) enclosed by an earthen bank (int. H 0.45m; ext. H 1.05m) E->SW, and defined by a scarped edge (H 1.1m; Wth 1m) SE->N, and defined by a steep cliff edge (H c. 6m) N->SE which rises from the W bank of the stream. The ground rises sharply beyond the enclosing element on the landward side. The interior is level and under grass, though its surface becomes uneven along the top edge of the scarp. A similar enclosure lies directly across the stream to the NE (LI018-064---). Compiled by: Denis Power Date of upload: 26 August 2011
