What is recorded here

Indicated is a ruined fairy fort in County Limerick, reduced to a faint circular scar on a steep pasture slope. Cattle have erased much of its edge, while tree stumps and forgotten banks still mark the NE interior. The fort has lost its shape but not its presence, waiting beneath grass and shadow for someone to remember it.

In pasture, on steep NE-facing slope. Circular area (40m N-S; 38.8m E-W) enclosed by scarped edge (H 1.05m; Wth 1.7m). Scarp is much eroded by cattle and very indistinct E->SE. Interior is under pasture except NE third which is very uneven with tree stumps scattered about- there are some coniferous trees still standing here; interior is shown as completely covered by trees on 1923 OS 6-inch map and located within a 'fox covert'. Low earthen bank (H c. 0.2m; Wth c. 3m) runs as chord across interior in WNW sector. Low earthen bank, not marked on OS 6-inch map, skirts enclosure at NE on NW-SE axis.
