What is recorded here
Marianne and Denis climbed the gentle SE-facing slope in Graig, County Limerick, on the morning of 26 August 2011. Under the pasture lay a level circular space, 29.9 metres north-south and 27.8 metres east-west, enclosed by an eroded earthen bank and a shallow external fosse. Marianne walked the rim with her fingers in the cold soil while Denis measured the distance between two markers. The field boundary skirted the enclosure from north to south, guiding them back toward the road. She touched the bank once and left it alone.
