What is recorded here

Fairy fort in Baurnalicka, County Limerick: a 49-metre earthen ring on a gentle slope, half scarped bank and half dry-stone wall, still holding its shape under pasture. The scarp fades on one side as if the circle were never finished, or never meant to be seen whole. Cattle walk across it now, indifferent to the shape beneath their hooves.

In pasture, on gentle NW-facing slope. Circular area (49m N-S; 47.8m E-W) defined by scarped edge (H 0.8m; Wth 6m) NNE->SSW, and enclosed by dry-stone field wall (H 1.35m; Wth 1.55m) SSW->NNE. This wall is of similar construction to surrounding field boundaries. Scarp very indistinct SSE->SSW. Interior, under pasture, slopes down gently to NW following contour of surrounding terrain.
