What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Ballyengland Upper is a circular earthworks site in County Limerick, Ireland, with an 18m gap in its bank and stones dumped along its outer face. It sits on a south-facing slope below a hill brow, partly hidden by vegetation and touched by dry-stone walls. The broken ring and scattered stones suggest people shaped the land repeatedly, perhaps clearing fields or changing boundaries across generations.

In pasture, on S-facing slope below brow of hill. Circular area (30m N-S; 29.4m E-W) enclosed by earthen bank (int. H 1.05m; ext. H 1.15m) except NNE->E where section of bank has been remover (Wth 18m). Bank is heavily masked by vegetation overgrowth. Stones from field clearance have been dumped in a band (Wth 8m) against external bank face, and also along S and W sides of interior. Dry-stone field walls abut bank at N and SSW.
