What is recorded here
Hachured is a circular fairy fort in County Limerick, Ireland, where a shallow scarped edge and narrow outside ditch still mark the boundary in level pasture. The SSE ramp invites entry into a gently sinking centre, while overgrowth gathers along the inner perimeter like a forgotten crowd waiting for someone to notice the shape.
In level pasture. Circular area (31.4m N-S; 30.9m E-W) defined by a scarped edge (H 1.3m; Wth 0.4m), with an external fosse (D 0.3m; Wth 2.1m) SW->W and NNW->ENE. Ramp (Wth 2m) across scarp at SSE. Field boundaries abut scarp at NNW, SE and W. Interior, which slopes gently down towards centre, is under pasture but with overgrowth along its perimeter.
