Lissaborteale - Hachured — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Lissaborteale is a circular earthen ringfort in County Limerick, Ireland, where a dense green wall now strangles the boundary between human memory and fairy legend. The broken bank and shallow eastern ditch suggest either careless farming or deliberate invitation, while the yellow grass ribbon marking the outer edge resembles a trail laid down for visitors who do not appear on ordinary maps.

In undulating pasture, on SE-facing slope below brow of low rise, immediately N of public road. Circular area (diam. c. 45m) enclosed by earthen bank with external fosse (Wth 2m; D 1.25m). Bank (int. H 1.45m; ext. H 3m), heavily masked by dense overgrowth, is best preserved along SW arc. Fosse widens and shallows along E side (Wth 4m; D 0.45m). Break in bank (Wth 2.8m) at WNW is matched by recently constructed causeway across fosse. Band of short yellow grass (Wth c. 3m) runs along outer edge of fosse NW->NE. Interior is completely covered by dense overgrowth. A field boundary skirts outer edge of fosse on E side. Compiled by: Denis Power Date of upload: 26 August 2011
