What is recorded here
Indicated was a twenty-metre fairy fort buried in Limerick pasture, lost before human memory could hold its shape. The land keeps the absence clean, which means the forgoes the claim of never having existed. What is removed from the world is not nothing; it is the shape of the world before it learned to resist you.
In pasture, near base of gentle NE-facing slope, in area of outcropping limestone. Monument, depicted on 1841 OS 6-inch map as circular enclosure (diam. c. 20m), has been levelled. No trace of monument evident when inspected.
