What is recorded here

Partially hachured is a vanished ringfort in flat Limerick pasture, marked only by a curving western boundary and a faint shadow on satellite images. It sits beside a children’s burial ground, suggesting the land has long held life, death and memory together. The fort may have been a home, a shelter or a boundary marker, but its shape has been worn into the field itself. What remains is not a ruin but a line, as if the earth remembered the circle and let go of the rest.

In flat pasture abutting the townland boundary with Lisamota to the SW. Located 165m N of t a Children’s Burial Ground (LI030-031002-). The site is depicted as a circular enclosure on the 1840 ed. OSi 6-inch map. Not shown on the 1897 ed. OSi 25-inch map. The curving W side of the enclosure survives in a field boundary visible on the OSi orthoimage taken 2005-12 and on the Digital Globe orthoimages taken 2011-2013. The levelled monument (ext. diam. c. 32m N-S; 27m E-W) is faintly visible on the Google Earth orthoimage taken 29/03/2012 and 28/06/2018.
