Indicated

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

Indicated is a vanished Limerick fairy fort, erased from the pasture though drawn on the 1841 map. Its twenty-metre ring stopped resisting the plough, and the field took back the shape of the fort. What is missing becomes easier to imagine: a small crowded world, bright with argument and rain, that disappeared into the ordinary ground.
In pasture. Monument, depicted as circular enclosure (diam. c. 20m) on 1841 OS 6-inch map, has been levelled. No trace of monument evident when inspected. Compiled by: Denis Power Date of upload: 26 August 2011
