What is recorded here

Indicated is a scarped fairy fort on a Limerick ridge, its steep oval edge dressed in stone like the surrounding fields. The south face hides a blocked lintelled recess pointing at the old track, suggesting the ring still watches the path even when empty. Trees shadow the flat interior now, but the shape preserves the exact moment human hands stopped and legend took over.

In pasture, atop low ridge. Oval area (34.9m N-S; 26.6m E-W) defined by scarped edge (H 2.6m; Wth 3.2m) which grades to earthen bank (int. H 0.75m) SW->W and N->ENE. Scarp has near-vertical face which has been faced with stones in fashion of surrounding field boundaries. Facing rises into low wall (int. H 0.4m) atop scarp E->SE. Entrance at SW where there is a gap in scarp (Wth 4.4m) and gradual slope (H 0.65m; Wth 5.45m) up into interior from field level. There is a kink in scarp face at S which contains a blocked-up lintelled recess (H 0.9m; Wth 0.5m, D 0.8m). This faces trackway which skirts enclosure SE->SW but exact nature of recess is unclear. Level interior is covered by trees some of which have fallen. There is a dump of tree stumps and earth along verge at W. Compiled by: Denis Power Date of upload: 26 August 2011
