What is recorded here

Fairy fort in Ballinanima, County Limerick, is an earthen ringfort with a bank, outside ditch and southern gap. It has stood in pasture since before the 1840 map, large enough for a small house, yard and the lives of the people who used it. They are no longer named, but the circle still holds the shape of their days.

In pasture, 131m E of townland boundary with Ballygeagoge. Depicted on the 1840 ed. OSi 6-inch map as a raised circular-shaped area defined by a scarp. Shown on the 1897 OSi 25-inch map as a raised sub-circular shaped area (dims. c. 34m N-S; 30m E-W) defined by a scarp, with gap at S. Monument visible as circular-shaped area enclosed by a bank with external fosse and gap at S on Digital Globe orthoimage taken between 2011-13 and on Google Earth orthoimages.
