What is recorded here

Lisheen - Hachured is a fairy fort in County Limerick, Ireland. The finished chamber is slightly oval, measures about thirty-six metres across, and keeps a narrow outer ditch. The earth bank rises higher on the south side, where the ground falls away, and a three-and-a-half-metre gap marks the entrance at the north-west. The shape is not a mistake. The slope, the ditch and the opening still fit one another.

In pasture, on steep S-facing hill-slope. Roughly circular area (35.5m N-S; 37m E-W) enclosed by earthen bank with external fosse (D 0.25m; Wth 1.8m). Bank (int. H 0.5m; ext. H 2.3m) gradually increases its external height as it progresses down-slope to S. Entrance (Wth 3.5m) at NNW. Fosse is best preserved SSW->NW, but has been infilled N->NE. Field boundary runs tangentially to external bank face at S. Interior, under pasture, slopes down to SE.
