What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Moig South is a circular earth-and-stone enclosure in County Limerick, Ireland, preserving an old boundary now absorbed into pasture and field lines. Its bank still stands about one metre high on the best-kept side, while a narrow gap remains at the north-west and bushes have been cut from the top and dumped inside. The site sits in the south-west corner of a field on a gentle south-facing slope, where ordinary farm use has both hidden and continued the shape of the fort.

In pasture, on gentle S-facing slope. Circular area (37m N-S; 34m E-W), enclosed by earth-and-stone bank (int. H 0.95m; ext. H 0.8m), best preserved NNE->SE. Bank incorporated into E-W field boundary SE->SW; this joins N-S field boundary short distance to W so that site occupies SW corner of field. Field boundary which abutted enclosure at S has been removed. Gap (Wth 2.4m) in bank at NNW. Interior slopes gently down towards centre and is under pasture. Bushes growing along top of bank at NE have recently been cut and dumped into interior. Compiled by: Denis Power Date of upload: 26 August 2011
