What is recorded here
Three concentric earthen banks and intervening fosses form a sub-circular enclosure in Tullyleague, County Limerick. A field boundary has cut through parts of the rings, yet a causeway still crosses the fosses at the south-east. Dense overgrowth now hides much of the structure, leaving the earthen ridges to emerge only where pasture and memory break through the green.
In pasture, on N-facing slope. Sub-circular area (36m N-S; 32m E-W) enclosed by three concentric earthen banks with intervening fosses. Inner bank (int. H 0.7m; ext. H 0.95m) clipped slightly by field boundary at N, but inner fosse (Wth 3m), middle bank (int. H 0.8m; ext. H 0.6m) and outer fosse (Wth 1.5m) all truncated by field boundary NW->E. Outer bank (int. H 0.95m; ext. H 0.4m) further truncated W->SE by same boundary. Corresponding break in banks and causeway over fosses at SSE (Wth c. 2.5m). Entire site is covered by dense overgrowth.
