What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Dundrum is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Dundrum, County Tipperary, Ireland. The roughly circular site spans 44 metres north to south and 44 metres east to west. A substantial bank runs from the north to east-southeast, while a deep ditch cuts through the east and east-southeast. A possible entrance appears where the bank lowers and the ditch fills in at the east-southeast.
