What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Dromloughan North is a circular earth and stone bank, 26 to 28 metres across, on an east-facing pasture slope in County Limerick. A later field boundary cuts through its clear interior, and sections of the bank are missing at the south and west. The shape still reads as a deliberate enclosure, not a random heap, though no named person, date or event is recorded in the facts provided.

In level pasture on slight E-facing slope with moderate views in all directions, 134m E of townland boundary with Fearoe, an enclosure (LI022-061----) lies 122m to NE. Present remains consist of a slightly raised circular shaped area (26m N-S; 28.2m E-W ) defined by an earth and stone bank (Wth 5m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 0.6m) from NNW through E to SSW and by a post-1700 dry stone field boundary from SSW to NNW. The interior of the site is bisected by a post-1700 field boundary running NW-SE. The interior is level and clear of overgrowth with sections of bank removed at S and W giving access.
