What is recorded here

Fairy fort in Cragmore, County Limerick: an oval earth-and-stone ring, 37.5 by 29.5 metres, with two gaps and a level pasture interior. People may have lived there, fenced stock, or simply avoided the place because the stones looked angry.

Bank, incorporated into tangential field boundary at W, is heavily masked by dense overgrowth. Gaps in bank at SE (Wth 4.8m) and NNW (Wth 2.8m). Remains of external stone facing on bank at N.
