What is recorded here

Fairy fort in Ballypierce is a circular earthen ringfort on a broad ridge in County Limerick, Ireland. Its bank stands .6 to .7m high around a 25m dry interior, with a 3.8m wide fosse outside and a 5.6m entrance at the southeast. The place feels like a small forgotten chamber set into ordinary pasture, old enough to stop being obvious and strange enough to be remembered.

In level pasture, on crest broad NNE-SSW running ridge. Circular area (25.7m N-S; 25m E-W) enclosed by earthen bank (int. H 0.6m; ext. H 0.7m) with external fosse (D 0.5m; Wth 3.8m). Entrance (Wth 5.6m) at SE. Bank more substantial NW->SE than elsewhere. Interior slopes down to SE toward entrance, is dry and clear of overgrowth.
