What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Ballincurry (Crohane parish) is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Ballincurry (Crohane parish), County Tipperary, Ireland. The much degraded site occupies a circular grassland area measuring 30 metres north-south and 38 metres east-west on an east-facing slope. A low bank, mostly reduced to a 0.3-metre scarp, surrounds the interior, while an outer ditch appears only from the south through the west to the north. The structure may have been a double-banked ringfort before agricultural changes altered its shape.

In grassland on an E-facing slope of rising ground in upland region with good views in all directions. Much degraded ringfort consisting of a circular area (int. diam 30m N-S; 38m E-W) defined by a low degraded bank (top Wth 2m; base Wth 4m; int. H 0.1m) mainly reduced to a scarp (H 0.3m) and outer fosse (base Wth 1.5m; top Wth 4m; ext. D 0.2m) visible from S through W to N only with possible suggestion of a second levelled bank visible at S only. The fosse has been intersected by a field boundary at E on a N-S axis. May originally have been a bivallate ringfort which has been degraded by agricultural improvements. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011
