Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Caherclogh

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

Caherclogh is a circular earthen ringfort about thirty metres across, hidden beneath dense overgrowth on a gentle south-facing slope in County Limerick. Its low bank still stands, though grass and thorns have swallowed most of the interior. People may have lived there before the field boundary cut past it, but the land has kept that memory quiet.
In pasture, on gentle S-facing slope. Roughly circular area (diam. c. 30m) enclosed by earthen bank (int. H 0.65m; ext. H 0.9m). Running just outside bank S->E is field boundary. Interior and bank are covered for the most part by dense overgrowth. Compiled by: Denis Power Date of upload: 26 August 2011 See attached ASI aerial photograph ASIAP – 325/30 on 05/10/2002.
