Enclosure in Lodge — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Thirty years of wet pasture and drainage nearly erased the circular fence, yet the grass still shadows a nineteen-metre ring beside the Oldtown boundary. It is not a distant myth but a living mark in County Limerick, close enough to walk past and imagine the people who turned that edge of earth into a threshold. The ringfort above it and the enclosure below form one forgotten neighbourho

In improved wet pasture, cut by land drains and watercourses, 200m W of a townland boundary with Oldtown. Ringfort (LI032-156----) lies 12m to N. Monument is not depicted on OSi historic maps. Monument identified by the Bruff aerial photographic survey in 1986 (Bruff 294: AP5/2046) as a subcircular-shaped earthwork. Upstanding monument is visible as a faint roughly circular-shaped cropmark (diam. 19.5m) defined by a possible fosse, as seen on OSi orthoimage taken 2005-2012 and on Google Earth orthoimage 20/09/2020.
