What is recorded here

Indicated is a fairy fort in County Limerick, Ireland. It lies on the east side of a low rise in pasture, eighty-five metres southeast of the Lisduff boundary. Two other ringforts sit due west and east, aligned across the land like markers someone set in a hurry and never explained. The shape has changed on maps from oval to semi-circle to circle, as if the earth keeps rediscovering its own edge. Cattle may have walked the rim for centuries, pressing the boundary into grass and memory.

On the E side of a low rise, in pasture, 85m SE of a townland boundary with Lisduff. Ringforts (LI030-055/058----) lie 230m due W and 270m due E, respectively and seem to be in alignment. Depicted on the 1840 ed. OSi 6-inch map as a suboval-shaped earthwork (50m E-W; 41m N-S). Depicted on the revised 1897 ed. OSi 25-inch map as a semi-circular-shaped area (C 43m) incorporated into a field boundary from NW-N-E-SE. Described in the SMR file as a circular-shaped enclosure.
