What is recorded here

That is the Clorhane ringfort: a 26-metre earthen chamber in Limerick woodland, old enough to have lost its human name but still holding its shape. The bank stands about a metre high, dips at the south-east, and rings a floor where ground ivy still creeps beneath mature trees. People may have lived there, fled there, or simply stopped calling it theirs when the woods closed over the doorway.

In deciduous woodland, on level terrain. Circular area (26.5m N-S; 26.4m E-W) enclosed by earthen bank (int. H 0.9m; ext. H 1m) with external fosse (D 0.6m; Wth 1.3m). Bank lowers noticeably at SE. Interior surface, which slopes gently down to SE, is covered by ground ivy with mature deciduous trees overhead. Compiled by: Denis Power Date of upload: 26 August 2011
