What is recorded here

That is a fairy fort in Graig, County Limerick: a 35m earthen ring on a south-facing pasture slope, its outer bank rising 4.7m above a waterlogged fosse. The names suggest people once refused to explain it, or invented refusal because the shape gave no answer. Gaps cut through the bank at several points, one marked by a curving ramp that drops toward the wet trench, as if entry required surrender rather than force. Dense growth now fills the interior, keeping the ring alive as a presence instead of a picture.

In pasture, on S-facing slope. Circular area (c. 35m N-S) enclosed by earthen bank (int. H 1.9m; ext. H 4.7m) with external waterlogged fosse (D 2.7m; Wth 2.7m) S->E; enclosing element has been levelled E->S. Interior and enclosing element covered by dense overgrowth. Gaps in bank at NW, NNW, SE and SSE; NW gap has curving ramp dropping down into fosse; SSE gap approached from outside by two very-low parallel earthen banks c. 10m apart and c. 15m in length.
