Enclosure in Cappanahanagh

On rolling pasture on the SW of Boarmanshill on a low knoll on the immediate SW side of a pond in a glacial hollow with a view over Limerick City. A well annotated ‘Toberaguile’ is located 180m to the SW, a possible hilltop enclosure or royal fort of Lisgorey (LI007-002----) is located 850m to N, with a smaller ringfort (LI007-003----) 500m NNE. Depicted on 1840 ed. OS 6-inch map as a circular enclosure. The site description is based upon the 1897 OS 25-inch map which shows that the monument was incorporated into field boundaries with the levelling of the northern half of the earthwork. The enclosure is oval (dims. c. 27m NW-SE x 22m NE-SW). Visible as a low relief earthwork on Digital Globe orthophotos taken 2011-13 and as a cropmark on Google Earth orthoimage taken 28/06/2018.
