Indicated

Fairy fort / stone ringfort

What is recorded here

Indicated is a D-shaped stone ringfort in County Limerick, its broken walls marking an oval pasture clearing. It is a place where human hands shaped the land into a room without a roof, and the room is still visible. The story is not about a hidden event or a dead name. The story is about a living boundary, drawn in stone and still holding its shape.
In level pasture with moderate views in all directions, 105m E of townland boundary with Ballygriffin, 156m W of townland boundary with Fearoe and 271m SE of townland boundary with Ballylusky. Present remains consist of slightly raised oval shaped area (25m N-S x 38m E-W) defined by relic stone wall from NW to E (dims. int. H 0.4m; ext. H 0.7m; Wth 4.5m) and stone wall from E to SW, a farm track running N-S truncates site at W. The interior is level and clear of overgrowth. The monument is visible as a D-shaped tree-lined enclosure with interior clear of overgrowth on the Google Earth orthoimage taken 2020. See attached sketch plan surveyed and drawn by ASI and Google Earth orthoimage. Compiled by: Fiona Rooney Date of upload: 4 August 2020
