What is recorded here
Fairy fort in Cragmore, County Limerick: an oval earth-and-stone ring, 37.5 by 29.5 metres, with two gaps and a level pasture interior. People may have lived there, fenced stock, or simply avoided the place because the stones looked angry.
In pasture, on slight rise in terrain which slopes gently down to W. Oval area (37.5m N-S; 29.5m E-W) enclosed by earth-and-stone bank (int. H 0.75m; ext. H 0.4m). Bank, incorporated into tangential field boundary at W, is heavily masked by dense overgrowth. Gaps in bank at SE (Wth 4.8m) and NNW (Wth 2.8m). Remains of external stone facing on bank at N. Level interior under pasture.
