Lisnabrock - Hachured

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

Lisnabrock is a 35-metre fairy fort in County Limerick, its earthen bank and stone-ringed fosse now buried under decades of pasture growth. The collapsed wall still lines the ditch like a broken collar, and the dense interior suggests the place stopped being visited long before it stopped existing. Whatever lived inside has vanished into soil and shadow, leaving only the round shape to mark the boundary of its absence.
In pasture, on gentle E-facing slope. Circular area (diam. c. 35m) enclosed by earthen bank with an external fosse (Wth 1.3m; D 1.15m). Bank (int. H 2.1m; ext. H 2.5m), very heavily masked by overgrowth, is only accessible at NW. Collapsed dry-stone wall (H 0.35m) runs along outer edge of fosse which is littered with loose stone derived from wall. Interior is completely covered by dense overgrowth. Compiled by: Denis Power Date of upload: 26 August 2011
