Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Ballyart is a small earthen ring in County Limerick, Ireland, set beside a tributary of the Mulkear River. It measures about twenty-five metres east-west and twenty metres north-south, with views to the west and south. Dense scrub now hides much of the circle, but the land still holds the shape of a place people made visible before forgetting its name.
Situated immediately S of a tributary of the Mulkear River in undulating pasture, with good views to W and S. Monument depicted on the 1923 OS 6-inch map as a roughly circular enclosure (c. 25m E-W; 20m N-S) is now obscured by dense scrub vegetation. Compiled by: Denis Power Date of upload: 21 June 2013
