Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

Feohanagh is a fairy fort, a ring of earth twenty metres wide on a west-facing slope in County Limerick. It has vanished, levelled into pasture, though the 1841 map still draws its circle. The land keeps the shape longer than the soil.
In pasture, on gentle W-facing slope. Monument, depicted as roughly circular embanked enclosure (diam. c. 20m) on 1841 OS 6-inch map, has been levelled. No trace of monument evident when inspected. Compiled by: Denis Power Date of upload: 26 August 2011

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
