What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Ballyslatteen is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Ballyslatteen, County Tipperary, Ireland. It occupies level pasture on the east flood plain of the River Suir. A circular area about 25 metres across is defined by an 8 metre wide earthen bank and an external ditch 6.15 metres wide. Both features are slightly straightened on the south side, possibly because a field boundary lies about 4 metres to the south.
