What is recorded here

Fairy fort in Coolaboy, County Limerick: an oval earthen ringfort, 26.6 metres north-south and 21.5 metres east-west, with a scarped edge rising 2.1 metres and hedging along its top. It stands on the north outskirts of Dromcolliher, immediately west of the town house garden, now a small paddock entered through two wooden gates in the hedge. The earth may have marked a home, a boundary or a place of warning, yet no exact name or date has survived to say which.

On N outskirts of Dromcolliher town, immediately W of town house garden, with pasture field adjoining elsewhere. Oval area (26.6m N-S; 21.5m E-W) defined by scarped edge (H 2.1m; Wth 1.8m); hedging runs along top edge of scarp. Scarp, best preserved SE->SW, lowers NE->SE (H 0.55m; Wth 4m). Interior, under rough pasture, has dip (Wth 1.8m) running across centre on rough E-W axis. Enclosure now used as a small paddock, accessed by two small wooden gates in hedge at NNW (Wth 2.5m) and SW (Wth 1.6m) respectively. ESB pole stands atop scarp at NNE.
