What is recorded here

Attyflin, County Limerick: a 32m earthen ring with a shallow outer ditch, standing 50m from Attyflin Park House in open pasture. It may have begun as a human fortress, then become a tree-ring in the estate landscape, which is why it still looks like a fort only when the leaves are thin. The earth remembers both uses at once.

In gently undulating pasture, good views in all directions, on the demesne lands of Attyflin Park House located 50m to NNE. Present remains consist of a slightly raised sub-circular shaped area (dims. 32m N-S; 28m E-W) defined by an earth and stone bank (Wth 4.6m; H int. 0.4m; ext. 0.7m) reduced to a scarp in places with external fosse (Wth 4.6m; D 0.3m). Interior is gently undulating. Outline of tree covered monument visible on Google Earth orthoimage taken 2020. Close proximity to Elm Park House suggests that this earthwork may be a ringfort reused as a tree-ring on the designed landscape of the demesne.
