What is recorded here

Fairy fort in Clorhane, County Limerick: an oval earthen ring, 21 metres north-south and 18 east-west, scarped 0.8 metres high on a limestone ridge. People may have lived there before fields changed, or merely passed beside it and called it fairy-made because no one claimed it. The bare stone at its centre still catches light like a forgotten altar, waiting for someone to remember why the boundary was drawn.

In pasture, at S tip of limestone ridge. Oval area (21.2m N-S; 18.2m E-W) defined by scarped edge (H 0.8m; Wth 2.1m). Scarp is lower and more gradual at ESE. Interior, under pasture, has exposed limestone bedrock near centre. Remains of relict field system lie adjacent to NE: linear earthen bank (H 0.6m) runs on E-W axis for c. 26m forming corner with similar bank (on N-S axis) at its E end. Shorter stretches of relict field boundaries are evident to S and NW of site. Compiled by: Denis Power Date of upload: 26 August 2011
