What is recorded here
Lismeenagh- Hachured is a sub-circular fairy fort in County Limerick, Ireland, where a twenty-seven-centimetre scarp still rises beside a shallow fosse on a south-facing slope. The road has cut through its western edge, yet the eastern bank remains proud above the pasture. Cattle graze inside the ancient line while modern sheds crowd the northeast, proving that human activity continues to reshape the boundary between the ordinary world and the hidden one.
In pasture, on S-facing slope overlooking river valley. Sub-circular area (40m N-S; 39.5m E-W) defined by scarped edge NNW->WSW and truncated by public road WSW->NNW; shallow fosse (Wth 1m; D 0.2m) runs along base of scarp S->SW. Scarp (H 2.7m; Wth 12m) is best preserved E->SE. Interior, under pasture, slopes down to E. A number of sheds have been erected immediately NE of enclosure, with a large spoil heap from their construction dumped immediately N of enclosure.
