Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Lissaniska West

Fairy fort in Lissaniska West, County Limerick: a level circular pasture, forty metres across, held inside a continuous earthen bank and outer fosse. The west and north-west edge rises sharper, as if the ground itself drew a line and stopped. People may have lived there before writing, herding, birth, death and argument inside the circle; the fairies, according to local story, took the place later and kept it closed to ordinary want.
