What is recorded here
Indicated is a fairy fort in County Limerick, a shallow circular scar in pasture where the earth still holds the shape of a forgotten room. Its rim rises barely seventy-five centimetres above the grass, yet the slope inside dips east like a bowl waiting for rain. Cattle walk across it without hesitation, but people often slow their pace, sensing that the ground remembers more than it shows. The fort does not demand belief; it invites imagination, leaving behind a circle large enough for a life and quiet enough to keep one.
In pasture, on slight E-facing slope. Circular area (35.1m N-S; 36.5m E-W) defined by a scarped edge (H 0.75m; Wth 2.05m), with external fosse (D 0.45m; Wth 2.7m) ESE->NNE. Scarped edge most prominent ESE->NNE. Interior slopes down gently to E, and is under pasture.
