What is recorded here
Hachured 1923 is a fairy fort in County Limerick, Ireland. It is a circular earthen ring on a ridge, about 26 metres across, with a scarped edge and a low inner bank. Cattle still walk above it, and the ground dips gently toward the middle. The stones and soil have kept their shape through centuries of rain and pasture.
In pasture, atop ridge. Circular area (26.2m N-S; 24.5m E-W) enclosed by earthen bank WNW->E and defined E->WNW by scarped edge (H 1.85m; Wth 5.5m). Bank (int. H 0.35m; ext. H 1.35m), best preserved at NW, lowers at N (ext. H 0.15m). Scarp best preserved at ESE, lowers at S (H 0.25m). Dry-stone field wall runs tangentially to W arc, 5m outside it. Interior, under pasture, dips gently down towards centre.
