Indicated

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

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. Compiled by: Denis Power Date of upload: 26 August 2011

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
