What is recorded here

Indicated is a fairy fort in County Limerick, Ireland. It is a roughly circular earthen ringfort set in rough pasture on a south-facing slope at the west end of a ridge. A mature ash tree stands at its centre while dense overgrowth hides part of the bank. The place still keeps its shape, marking the boundary between ordinary field and remembered fantasy.

Enclosing element is covered by dense overgrowth on NE side. Interior, in rough pasture, slopes gently up towards perimeter. A mature ash tree stands at centre.
