What is recorded here

Fairy fort, Tuogh, County Limerick. A ringfort, mapped as a 30m circle in 1841, now a 34m wedge shaped by a curving earthen bank and two dry-stone walls. Trees cover the level ground inside. The fort is no longer a full circle, but the boundary still stands, bent by time and use rather than broken.

In gently undulating pasture, atop slight rise. Monument, depicted as circular enclosure (diam. c. 30m) on 1841 OS 6-inch map, now survives as wedge-shaped area (34m N-S; 23m E-W) enclosed NE->SW by arc of curving earthen bank (int. H 0.5m; ext. H 0.45m), and is defined on W and N sided by dry-stone field walls which meet at NW. Remains of a dry-stone wall runs along top of bank. Interior is level and covered by mature trees.
