What is recorded here

Earthwork in Grange is a hidden ridge in wet County Limerick pasture, caught between two watercourses and overlooked by modern satellites. It joins a small cluster of earthworks near Grange Upper and Lough Gur, suggesting that people shaped the land there before it disappeared under grass and rain.

The settlement of Grange Upper lies 225m to E and Lough Gur lies 1.15km to ESE. Earthworks (LI032-182001-/325----) lie 50m to WSW and 110m to W, respectively and enclosure (LI031-081----) lies 135m to WNW. Not depicted on OSi historic maps.
