What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Ballyhahill stands in Ballyhahill, County Limerick, Ireland. It is a Fairy fort / earthen ringfort, and it is still there. What is recorded is that it exists, that it is this kind of place, and that it belongs to this exact area. Everything else must stay clear of invention.

In pasture, on N-facing slope. Enclosure covered by dense overgrowth of trees, bushes and briars so that only limited access possible. Circular area (diam. c. 25m) enclosed by two concentric earthen banks with intervening fosse, and with very shallow external fosse S->SW. Inner bank (int. H 0.2m; ext.
