What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Castlewaller is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Castlewaller, County Tipperary, Ireland. It occupies an east-facing slope beside a steep ravine, joining two neighbouring ringforts to the northeast and north. The poor preservation leaves a circular area 22.5 metres across from northwest to southeast, bounded by an earth and stone bank 2 metres wide. The bank stands 0.6 metres high internally and 1.5 to 2.5 metres externally, though it reduces to a scarp at the east.
