What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Drumminascart, Loughourna is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Drumminascart, Loughourna, County Tipperary, Ireland. No visible fort remains because a road cut through Drumminascart about 1920. The missing earth works stood on the southwest-facing hill slope, beside the townland line now marked by a road, a silage pit and a concrete floor.

Situated on the SW-facing slope of a hill. On the 1st and latest ed. OS 6-inch maps the N half of the site is truncated by a townland boundary. The site was completely destroyed c. 1920 when a road was built along the line of the townland boundary. A large silage pit and concrete floor now occupy the area immediately S of the road.
