What is recorded here

Lisnagry- Hachured is a fairy fort in County Limerick, Ireland. The name and form suggest a place set apart for unseen life, while the visible ruins preserve the older human idea of a boundary around a small world. That is still life in the landscape, even when the people who first drew the line have disappeared from the story.

In pasture, atop hill. Circular area (44m N-S; 40m E-W) enclosed by two concentric earthen banks with intervening fosse. Inner bank (int. H 1.75m; ext. H 2.6m) and fosse (Wth 4m) are truncated E->S, and outer bank (int. H 0.5m; ext. H 0.6m) NE->SW, by field boundaries which form corner of field at SE. Entrance (Wth 2m) at NW recently widened but probably original. Interior level and in marshy pasture. Enclosing banks overgrown with trees and bushes.
