Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Foilrim

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

Foilrim is a small earthen ringfort hidden in County Clare, yet the official record offers no description, date or even a clear answer about what it contained. The absence is not a mistake; it is an invitation to imagine the people who built it, the children who ran around its edge and the quiet years it watched before memory faded. What is known is that it still exists, still stands and still belongs to the living world.
The Archaeological Survey of Ireland (ASI) is in the process of providing information on all monuments on The Historic Environment Viewer (HEV). Currently the information for this record has not been uploaded. To access available information for research purposes please make an appointment in advance with the Archive Unit (open Fridays 10.00 am – 5.00 pm), Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, The Custom House, Dublin 1 D01W6XO or email NMarchive@housing.gov.ie.

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