What is recorded here

Fairy fort in Tuogh, County Limerick: a 24.5 m earthen ring on a south-facing pasture slope, with a scarped edge, outside fosse, partial bank and an eastern gap. It sits beside a track and field boundary, half-hidden by scrub yet built for notice, perhaps as a dwelling, marker or boundary place before the fairies took it in story.

Situated immediately E of a track and immediately N of a field boundary on a S-facing slope in gently undulating pasture with good views in all directions. The monument is partially obscured by scrub vegetation but is evident as a roughly circular area (24.5m N-S) defined by a scarped edge (Wth 0.9m; int. H 0.2m) with an external fosse, and with an external bank (Wth 1.8m; ext. H 0.3m) from W to NE. There is a gap in the scarp at E (Wth 1.3m). The interior slopes down gently to SE.
