What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Crumlin Little is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Crumlin Little, County Tipperary, Ireland. The roughly circular upland enclosure measures 53 metres northeast to southwest and 50 metres northwest to southeast. An earth and stone bank and an outer ditch define its perimeter, with a possible 6-metre entrance gap at the east. A small bank in the southwest interior encloses an irregular area and may be associated with a farmhouse to the north-northwest.
