Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Killaghteen

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

Killaghteen holds a hidden ringfort, a thirty-metre circular enclosure buried beneath level rough grazing in County Limerick. The earth swallowed the stone and soil until only shadow remained, yet the shape still resists forgetting. People may have lived inside that invisible circle before the grass erased their footprint. The land keeps what human memory loses.
In level rough grazing. No evident surface trace of monument evident as cropmark of circular enclosure (diam. c. 30m) on aerial photograph (LAS). 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.
