What is recorded here

Hachured is a fairy fort hidden beneath thorns on a limestone hillock in County Limerick. Its broad scarped edge circles thirty-six metres, but briars swallow every path except two narrow gaps at southeast and northwest. The fort still keeps its shape, waiting for someone brave enough to walk uninvited.
In rough pasture, atop low limestone hillock. Roughly circular area (diam. c. 36m) defined by scarped edge (H 0.75m; Wth 6.6m); entire enclosure is covered in dense overgrowth of briars and thorn bushes, with scarp only accessible at SE and NNW.
