What is recorded here

Fairy forts hide in plain sight, wearing scrub and grass like a cloak. Cloghacloka is no different: a sub-oval ring, about fifty metres long and forty wide, marked by a modest earthen bank and shallow outer ditch. It sits on a rise in County Limerick pasture, still commanding the land even when vegetation tries to erase it. What looks like a forgotten mound may be a threshold, not a mistake.

Situated on a rise in gently undulating pasture with good views in all directions. Depicted on the 1924 OS 6-inch map as a sub oval area (c. 50m N-S; c. 40m E-W) enclosed by a bank. The monument is heavily obscured by dense scrub vegetation but the enclosing element is evident as an earthen bank (int. H 0.4m; Wth 1.4m; ext. H 1.1m) with an external fosse (Wth 2.1m; D 0.2m).
