What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Ballydoorlis stands in County Limerick, Ireland. A 30m circular earth bank with a shallow external ditch marks a SW entrance where a large boulder still defines the west edge. The interior slopes gently downward under pasture, preserving the shape of a place people may have lived, hidden or remembered long before written records.

In pasture, on gentle S-facing slope immediately below top of ridge, in area of outcropping limestone. Circular area (30m N-S; 30m E-W) enclosed by earthen bank (int. H 0.8m; ext. H 1.75m), with external fosse E->SSE (Wth 2m; D 0.1m). Bank best preserved W->E, but lowers E->S. Entrance (Wth 3.6m) at SW with large boulder defining W edge. Interior, under pasture, slopes down gently to SW. Compiled by: Denis Power Date of upload: 26 August 2011
