What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Dromin South is a wet pasture ringfort in County Limerick, Ireland. Its oval bank and faint fosse have resisted ploughs, boots and rain while another ringfort watches from thirty metres away. People may have lived there, buried jars there or simply avoided the place because it felt owned. The earth keeps its shape only because nobody has asked it to explain itself.

In wet pasture 60m S of the townland boundary with Dromin North. Ringfort (LI039-082----) lies 30m to SW. Depicted on the 1897 ed. OSi 25-inch map as a roughly oval-shaped area (dims. c. 40m NW-SE; 42m NE-SW) enclosed by a bank from E-S-W reduced to a scarp elsewhere with partial remains of an external fosse at NE only.
