What is recorded here

Lisheenagranoge was a forty-metre fairy fort on an east-facing slope in County Limerick, but a farm passage cut through its northern half and levelled the rest. The earth forgot its own shape, erasing the boundary between human pasture and fairy danger. What remains is not a ruin but a absence, a smooth hole in the land where something stubborn once refused to be owned.
In pasture, on break in E-facing slope. Monument, depicted on 1923 OS 6-inch map as embanked sub-circular enclosure (diam. c. 40m), has been levelled. No trace of monument evident when inspected. A recent farm passage, on N-S axis, cuts through N half of site. Compiled by: Denis Power Date of upload: 26 August 2011

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
