What is recorded here

Enclosure in Leahys is a shallow circular scar in County Limerick pasture, twenty-five metres across and barely half a metre deep. Local tradition calls it a levelled fort, though grass and time have erased most of its shape. What remains is a faint arc, a swallowed boundary, and a field that still remembers being held.
In level pasture. Shallow depression (Wth 12m; D 0.45m) with slight external rise (Wth 6m; H 0.25m), follows circular arc N->SE (approx. N-S diam. 25.3m). Entire site. covered in tall grass. According to local information remains of "a fort" which had been levelled some time ago. Compiled by: Denis Power Date of upload: 26 August 2011
