What is recorded here

Indicated is a fairy fort in County Limerick, a circular stone ringfort set in pasture on a gentle slope above outcropping limestone. Its broad flat-topped bank still stands about a metre high, though machinery has dumped boulders across parts of it and nettles now choke the interior beneath a mature sycamore. The fort has no visible entrance, suggesting it was never meant for ordinary passage but for something older that moves through stone rather than doors.

In pasture, on gentle SW-facing slope, in area of outcropping limestone. Circular area (diam. 35m) enclosed by broad flat-topped stone bank (int. H 1m; ext. H 0.9m; Wth top 7.15m). Bank best preserved E->S, narrows along NW arc (Wth 4.7m). Ground immediately outside enclosure W->NNW has been cleared by mechanical digger and boulders dumped atop and at external base of bank at NNE and also at SE. No evident break or entrance in enclosing bank. Farm passage passes c. 10m away on W side of enclosure on line of removed field boundary. Interior, covered with nettles, with mature sycamore tree at centre. Compiled by: Denis Power Date of upload: 26 August 2011
