What is recorded here

Parkalassa is a fairy fort in County Limerick, Ireland. It is an earthen ringfort in wet pasture beside a conifer plantation. The oval bank is about 27 metres long and 20 metres wide, with a curving field boundary along part of its edge. People may have lived there before the land became pasture, but the fort keeps that life hidden beneath grass and rain.
