What is recorded here

Fairy fort in Finniterstown is a ruined earthen ring, thirty-four metres across, cut into a southwest-facing slope in County Limerick. Its scarped edge still stands half a metre high, though farming erased the boundary that once skirted it and absorbed the enclosure into open pasture. The ground keeps its shape even when human markers disappear, suggesting the fort resisted forgetting longer than the fields around it.

In pasture, on SW-facing slope. Roughly circular area (34m N-S; 32m E-W) defined by scarped edge (H 0.4m; Wth 6m) most pronounced NNE->SW where exaggerated by fall of ground. Field boundary, shown skirting enclosure W->E on 1923 OS 6-inch map, have been removed, leaving enclosure part of enlarged pasture field. Compiled by: Denis Power Date of upload: 26 August 2011
