What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Patrickstown stands on a rocky knoll where the earth itself seems to have clenched into a ring. Its grassy bank and shallow ditch mark a boundary no gate can cross, inviting imagination rather than entry. People may have shaped that slope into a home, a shrine or a warning, but the absence of a door keeps the purpose alive in mystery.

Situated on a knoll of rock outcrop rising from the SW-facing slope of Patrickstown Hill. Grass-covered subcircular area (dims 28m NE-SW; 23m NW-SE) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 3.3m int. H 0.3m; ext. H 0.8m) and outer fosse (Wth of top 5.5m; ext. D 1m) N-E, on the upslope side and by the steep slopes of the outcrop (H 1m at NW to c. 5m at SW) elsewhere. There is no identifiable entrance. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 25 May, 2016
