What is recorded here

Fairy fort in Ballynoe, County Limerick: a level earthen ring, 26 metres across, with a scarped edge still standing eighty centimetres high. The dip at its north-east may have been a gate, or merely the place where the land gave way. Cattle graze inside now, unaware they walk the floor of a house built before doors were common. Whatever lived here left no beam, no brick, no name behind. Only the circle remains, holding its shape against centuries of rain and forgetting.

In pasture, atop low rise in undulating terrain. Circular area (26.4m N-S; 26.7m E-W) defined by scarped edge (H 0.8m; Wth 2.2m). Scarp, best preserved E->W, dips at NNE for c. 3.5m. Interior, under pasture, is level except for some slight uneveness near centre. Compiled by: Denis Power Date of upload: 26 August 2011
