What is recorded here
Logadoon is a scrub-covered ringfort in Limerick grassland, marked on maps since 1840 and still visible from above. It sits beside old Kilbreedy Church ruins, suggesting people lived, prayed and buried their dead around this simple earth circle for generations. The fort has no grand story preserved, but its shape implies defense, ownership and everyday routine long before records arrived.
In reclaimed grassland, immediately S of public road which marks townland boundary with Kilbreedy. Remains of Kilbreedy Church (LI048-007001-) and graveyard (LI048-007001-) immediately to NW. Annotated 'Logadoon' on 1840 ed. OSi 6-inch map. Depicted on 1897 ed. OSi 25-inch map as a circular-shaped area (diam. c. 32m) defined by a scarp with fosse. Scrub-covered earthwork visible on Digital Globe orthoimage taken between 2011-13.
