What is recorded here
Fawnamore, County Limerick, once held a 25-metre embanked ringfort, but a limestone quarry has erased it. The land swallowed the fort, perhaps along with the people who shaped it, leaving only memory behind. Even when stone is taken, the shape of what was lost remains visible in the absence.
Monument, depicted as embanked circular enclosure (diam. c. 25m) on 1923 OS 6-inch map, has been removed by limestone quarry.
