What is recorded here

Indicated is a broken fairy fort in County Limerick, reduced from a circular enclosure to a semicircular earthen bank after field works levelled its north-west side. The remaining ridge, shallow ditch and sloping interior preserve the shape of a place once detailed enough to map and useful enough to mark. It is the kind of lost border that still touches the land, half hidden in grass and memory.

In pasture, on N-facing slope. Monument, depicted as circular enclosure bisected by NE-SW field boundary on 1923 OS 6-inch map, has been levelled on NW side of boundary. Now evident as semicircular area (24m N-S; 13m E-W) enclosed by earthen bank (int. H 1.15m; ext. H 1m) NE->SW, with external fosse (D 0.5m; Wth 1.2m) SE->SW, and defined by linear field boundary on NW side. Interior slopes down slightly to NW and is partially covered by overgrowth.
