What is recorded here

Fairy fort in Lisbane, County Limerick: a circular earthen ringfort about twenty-five metres across, built into the north-west corner of a pasture field on an east-facing slope above a river valley. Most of the embankment has been levelled, but a curved earthen section still marks the field boundary where straight dry-stone walls join it. The shape resists the logic of the surrounding lines, as if the field were drawn around a memory rather than a memory drawn into the field.

In pasture, on E-facing slope into river valley. Monument, depicted on 1923 OS 6-inch map as circular embanked enclosure (diam. c. 25m) incorporated into NW corner of field, has been levelled. However, part of enclosing bank (int. H 0.9m; ext. H 1.2m) has survived W->NE where incorporated into field boundary. This curve in boundary is of earthen construction whereas adjoining sections are linear and of dry-stone construction. Otherwise no trace of enclosure in evident.
