What is recorded here

Situated on a gentle W-facing slope in a field of undulating, recently-cut stubble. Indicated on the 1924 OS 6-inch map as a semi-circular kink in a field boundary. Identified from aerial photographs (Limerick S Ring; OS 2, 2939) as a possible enclosure that was obscured by vegetation growth. Much of the field boundary has been knocked but a large outcropping of rock remains to the E of which houses have been built and to W of which rubble has been dumped. Both the rock outcrop and the rubble are covered in vegetation. The monument is not visible at ground level at this location.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record LI013-122
