What is recorded here
Indicated is a sub-circular ringfort in County Limerick, Ireland, where two western trackways still cut through a lumber yard toward a central working area. Logs and wood shavings now bury much of its earth-and-stone bank, yet the old shape remains visible inside the break in the south-facing slope. The site may have served people long before it became a place for handling timber, but human activity has continually redrawn its edges.
Contained within lumber yard, on break in S-facing slope. Sub-circular area (diam. c. 38m) enclosed by earth-and-stone bank NE->SSW and by linear field boundary NW->NNE. Bank (int. H 0.8m; ext. H 1.55m) is poorly preserved and heavily masked by logs and wood shavings heaped against inner face and piled over top. Two trackways converge and directly open into interior at W, leading to hay-barn and woodworking area at centre of enclosure.
