What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Mountplummer is a roughly circular earthwork in County Limerick, Ireland, with a scarped edge, bank, fosse and eastern gap. Scrub and briars still cover much of it, while a field boundary crosses part of the bank. The shape suggests a place set aside, entered through the east and hidden again by growing things.

Gap in bank (Wth c. 7m) at E; a field boundary skirts close to bank on E side. Level interior is masked by dense overgrowth of briars and bushes.
