I spent the day conducting an archaeological survey in Askeaton, Co. Limerick!
The circular enclosure measures 30m in diameter, and contains a walled internal section (pictured, badly!)
All the dry stone walls have collapsed over time. At their highest point the walls reach some 2m.
According to the locals, the walls were once much higher. Some stone has been removed by the locals and cows have flattened sections of the site.
Stones are scattered haphazardly throughout. The level of overgrowth is extensive.
Proper maps and pictures coming soon. If anyone has any idea of what the site is, please let me know - have you seen anything similar?
