What is recorded here

Indicated is a fairy fort in County Limerick, a circular earthen platform surrounded by a fosse with an eastern causeway and ramp. It measures about 150 feet across and rises six feet above the ditch bottom, yet appeared as a pond on an 1840 map. The shift from water to fort suggests the land itself may have hidden or revealed the shape depending on when people looked.

Described by O'Kelly (1944, 16) as following; 'This is a circular platform surrounded by a fosse. The entrance is on the E. side where a causeway and ramp lead on to the platform. The greatest height of the latter over the fosse-bottom is 6' [1.8m] and the overall diameter is 150' [45.7m]'. Depicted as a pond on the 1840 ed. OS 6-inch map.
