What is recorded here
Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Curraghanuddy is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Curraghanuddy, County Tipperary, Ireland. The circular enclosure appeared on the 1843 map but not the 1904 map, and it is not visible at ground level on the north-west-facing pasture slope today. A modern house stands nearby, though the landowner believes it occupies a former limekiln rather than the fort itself.
Situated on a NW-facing slope in pasture. Depicted as a circular enclosure on the 1st ed. (1843) OS 6-inch map but not shown on the 1904 ed. The site is not visible at ground level. A modern house has been built in the area but according to the landowner the house was built on the site of a limekiln/hollow.
The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Tipperary. Vol. 1 - North Tipperary' compiled by Jean Farrelly and Caimin O'Brien (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2002). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
