What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Ardcrony is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Ardcrony, County Tipperary, Ireland. It sits on a gentle west-facing slope in undulating pasture. Early mapping showed a circular enclosure with field boundaries touching the southwest quadrant and running north-south near the west side. Later mapping omitted the eastern portion, and the site is now levelled but still visible as a roughly circular rise about 46 metres north-south, 40.6 metres east-west and 1 metre high.
