What is recorded here

Indicated is a fairy fort in County Limerick, Ireland, hidden in pasture beside a public road. It appeared on maps as a circular enclosure set into rock outcrop, yet later surveyors drew it like an ordinary field boundary. The land may have worn its edges smooth or people may have stopped believing the circle mattered.

In pasture 90m W of public road. Depicted on the 1840 OS 6-inch map as a circular enclosure in an area of rock outcrop. The monument is depicted as a non-antiquity on the 1897 OS 25-inch map where the outline of a sub-circular shaped area (30m N-S; 28m E-W) is indicated with a solid line in the same fashion as the surrounding field boundaries. On this map a field boundary intersects the enclosure at S. Outline of scrub covered monument visible on Google Earth orthoimage taken 08/04/2015.
