What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Garryduff (Garrangibbon parish) is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Garryduff (Garrangibbon parish), County Tipperary, Ireland. It occupies a circular area roughly 37m across, enclosed by an earthen and stone bank 4.2m wide with internal heights of 0.7 to 1.25m and external heights of 0.9 to 1.3m. The site sits just off a hill crest where the ground slopes gradually north through pasture, now fenced with post and wire while nettles, brambles and mature trees grow around the bank. Clay and dead wood have been dumped inside the centre, and its position beside an avenue leading to a large house suggests the ringfort was once used as a landscape feature.
