What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Cloonmore is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Cloonmore, County Tipperary, Ireland. It occupies the southwest-facing slope of a ridge in tillage, where the northern half holds an earthen bank joined to a field boundary. The southern half is levelled, but a slight ground dip and a cropmark in the corn suggest a possible fosse. That line points to a possible bivallate ringfort with a thirty-three-metre north-south internal diameter and a forty-eight-metre overall diameter.

Situated on the SW-facing slope of a ridge in tillage. The N half of the site consists of an earthen bank incorporated into a field boundary (Wth c. 2.5m; H c. 1.4m), while the S half of the site is levelled. A possible fosse at S is indicated by a slight dip in the ground and a cropmark in the corn. The line of the fosse suggests a possible bivallate ringfort (int. diam. N-S 33m; overall diam. c. 48m).
