What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Clonalough, Munnia (Killoscully parish) is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Clonalough, Munnia (Killoscully parish), County Tipperary, Ireland. It occupies the southeast-facing slope of a hillock in an upland area, with a possible conjoined ringfort to the north. Two earth and stone banks enclose a raised circular area, separated by a ditch two metres wide and one metre deep at its greatest point. A modern road cuts the ditch at the north on a northwest to southeast axis, destroying the outer bank and possibly separating this site from the neighbouring ringfort.

Situated on the SE-facing slope a hillock in an upland area with a possible conjoined ringfort (TN031-028) to the N. A raised circular area enclosed by two earth and stone banks and intervening fosse (Wth 2m; D 1m max.) with a poorly preserved causewayed entrance at E. The inner bank (Wth 1.5-2.5m; int. H 0.5-0.8m; ext. H 1.5m) is best preserved while the outer bank (Wth 1m; ext. H 0.5m) is only visible from SE through S to SW. A modern road intersects the fosse at N on a NW-SE axis destroying the outer bank and possibly separating this site from the conjoined ringfort (TN031-028).
