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.
