What is recorded here
Lisnafulla is a fairy fort in County Limerick, Ireland. It is a roughly circular earthen ringfort with two concentric banks, ditches, and a level pasture interior. Cattle have worn parts of the banks, while briars and bushes still hide much of the structure. The small rise near the centre and the farm track beside it suggest the place has remained useful, watched, and slightly unsettled by ordinary life.
In level pasture. Roughly circular area (46.4m NW-SE) enclosed by two concentric earthen banks with intervening fosse (Wth 3.05m) and external fosse (D 0.35m; Wth 2.2m) NE->NW, and enclosed NW->NE by a field boundary on straighter arc than enclosing element which it replaces. Both inner bank (int. H 0.6m; ext. H 1.2m) and outer bank (int. H 0.9m; ext. H 0.7m) are masked by dense overgrowth of briars and bushes and much denuded in places by cattle accessing interior. Level interior is under pasture. There is a small rise just SW of centre (3m N-S; 2.9m E-W; H c. 0.2m). Farm trackway skirts enclosure on W side; complex of farm buildings lie short distance to N. Field boundary which abutted enclosure at SSW has been removed.
