What is recorded here

Knockcorragh holds a small stone ringfort on a natural hillock in County Limerick, its uneven bank and rock-cut ditch still marking a circular home or refuge. People may have lived there, watched the pasture, or kept what they valued inside the shallow rock-cut border. The fairies keep the rest, waiting for human pride to leave the field before they show the room they still occupy.

In pasture, on top of natural hillock. Circular area (17.2m N-S; 18m E-W) defined by bank reduced to uneven scarped edge (Wth 8m; H 2.75m). Revetment of stones face scarp sw to N and vertical scarp formed by face of rock outcrop SW to N. External fosse (basal Wth 2.7m; overall Wth 8.9m; D 0.6m) is cut into rock outcrop and is best preserved NW-NE and shallower NE-E, not evident E-SSW, visible cut into rock again SSW-SW, non-existent SW-NW. Interior is generally level and covered in rough grazing. OS trig point on edge of scarp at NNW. Probably associated with surrounding field system (LI023-273----).
