What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Ballycrine is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Ballycrine, County Tipperary, Ireland. The circular site measured about 30 metres across and occupied the south-east slope of a hill in undulating pastureland. A kink in the field boundary marks the southern sector and may preserve the original enclosure, while the interior remains a natural flat-topped hillock sloping gently downward.

Situated on the SE slope of a hill in undulating pastureland. All that survives of the site is a kink in the field boundary which delimits the S sector of the site and may incorporate the original enclosing element. This boundary consists of a clay bank and stone wall (Wth 1.4m; int. H 0.9m; ext. H 1.55m). The site appears to have been circular (diam. c. 30m). The interior is a natural, fairly flat-topped hillock which slopes gently down to the enclosing bank. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Tipperary.
