What is recorded here

Fairy fort in Coolrus, County Limerick: a 40 m earthen ring on a gentle south-east slope, its scarped edge and shallow outer ditch still marking the boundary beneath pasture and overgrowth. The enclosure has become a tangle of trees, bushes and briars, so the fort keeps its shape but withholds its interior. It is the kind of place where human life may have turned to legend, not because facts are absent but because the land has stopped answering plainly.

In pasture, on gentle SE-facing slope. Roughly circular area (diam. c. 40m) defined scarped edge (H 0.85m; Wth 1.55m) with external fosse (D 0.2m; 1.35m); scarp overlain by field boundary S->W. Most of enclosure impenetrable due to dense overgrowth of trees, bushes and briars. Compiled by: Denis Power Date of upload: 26 August 2011
