Earthwork in Dublin South City

Earthwork

What is recorded here

Lazar's Hill in Dublin South City once rose as a forte, perhaps watching ships or collecting taxes before men forgot its exact shape. De Courcy recorded the earthwork in the 17th century, preserving a boundary marker that time has since swallowed. The hill keeps its name while dropping its walls, turning a customs post into a ghost that challenges modern certainty.
De Courcy mentions the former existence of an earthwork known as the 'forte' at Lazar's Hill in the 17th century (1996, 164). This may have acted as a customs post. Not precisely located.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
