Earthwork in Limerick City,farranshone More

Earthwork

What is recorded here

Farranshone More still carries the buried shape of Castle Blake, though modern housing now covers the site marked on the 1938 map. The earthwork may have stood as a small defensive mound, a boundary marker, or a forgotten residence before the castle vanished from everyday sight. Whatever it was, the land remembers the shape even when the building no longer shows.
