What is recorded here
Lissagutta- Hachured is a ruined fairy fort in County Limerick, Ireland. It is a level grassy circle, not a standing stone or chamber, and the flat shape may reflect later farm work rather than its original building. The name and regional tradition link it to fairy beliefs, while its visible form remains an ordinary earthen ring in pasture.
In gently undulating pasture. Circular area (24m N-S; 24m E-W) defined by scarped edge (H 0.45m; Wth 3m) with external fosse (D 0.15m; Wth c. 5m) and external bank (int. H 0.15m; ext. H 0.45m). According to local information monument levelled-out to present form c. 1958. Enclosure under grass but differential growth-pattern (darker grass and concentration of weeds) accentuates line of fosse. External bank truncated NE->SE by field drain.
