What is recorded here

Fairy forts like Ballyhahill are misnamed: round forts built by people, not fairy works. A 25 m circle on a gentle slope in County Limerick still shows an earthen bank, shallow outer ditch and a trackway passing close by. The name is local fancy; the shape is human making.

In pasture, on gentle N-facing slope. Circular area (diam. c. 25m) enclosed by earthen bank (int. H 0.35m; ext. H 0.95m) SW->NNE, defined by scarped edge (H 0.85m; Wth 2m) NNE->SE, and enclosed by field boundary SE->SW which curves to respect enclosing element which it probably overlies. External fosse (D 0.2m; Wth 1.5m) NW->SE, truncated on W side by linear field boundary on N-S axis. Interior is completely covered by dense overgrowth. Trackway immediately to S (LI018-111---).
