What is recorded here

Fairy forts are not for people. They belong to the hidden life that uses ordinary land in its own way. This is one of theirs: a shallow circle in Limerick pasture, marked still by a thin scarp and a faded ditch. The fairies do not need walls. They remember the shape of the hole, and they return it when people stop seeing it.

In pasture, on a gentle W-facing slope. The monument, depicted as an embanked circular enclosure on 1928 OS map, has been levelled but is still apparent as a circular area (22m N-S; 24m E-W) defined by remains of levelled bank reduced to a scarp (Wth 3m; H 0.4m) that is reduced lower SW-N. Trace of fosse (total Wth 6.95m; basal Wth 1.25m; D 0.15) at E-N. Interior slopes down to W and levels off at W-side. Compiled by: Denis Power Date of upload: 19 November 2013
