What is recorded here
Thirty metres of forgotten stone circle a hollow on the Limerick slope, its collapsed bank barely rising above the grass. The fort belongs to nobody visible now, though the stones still mark a boundary drawn before memory. A house avenue skirts the southwest, proving the place remains useful even when its purpose has faded into green silence.
In wooded area, on E-facing slope. Circular area (diam. 30m) enclosed by collapsed stone bank (int. H 0.3m; ext. H 0.4m). Bank, best preserved E->SW, has lower external height along NW arc where it meets higher ground. Interior, heavily masked by vegetation overgrowth, is littered with loose stones from bank along its verge; slopes down gently to E. Recently constructed avenue leading to dwelling house, skirts enclosure on SW side.
