What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Dangan is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Dangan, County Tipperary, Ireland. It occupies undulating pastureland sloping gradually south, enclosing a circular area measuring about 26.5 metres north-south and 28 metres east-west. An earthen bank forms the boundary, reaching 2 metres in external height and standing beside a shallow, U-shaped ditch 2.3 metres wide and 0.35 metres deep.

On ground sloping gradually to S in undulating pastureland. Circular enclosure (diam. c. 26.5m N-S; 28m E-W) delimited by an earthen bank (Wth 2m crest, 4.5m base; int. H 0.86m; ext. H 2m) and shallow, U-shaped fosse (Wth 2.3m; D 0.35m). The interior is quite overgrown with brambles, particularly in the N and S quadrants. Bank has been quite denuded by cattle. A laneway, now disused, runs along the exterior of W side, the interior was accessible from this lane as entrance (Wth 2m) was broken through bank, there is another gap in bank directly opposite this in the E quadrant which, though widened, may be the original entrance. There is a small later stone structure in lane near W entrance. Gap (Wth 1.5m) in SW quadrant due to cattle erosion. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 18 November 2013
