What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Garrykennedy is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Garrykennedy, County Tipperary, Ireland. The site sits on a break in a northeast-facing slope in rolling pastureland, about 40 metres northwest of another possible ringfort. Leveling has removed most of the enclosure, but a curving scarp and the slope break still mark the area. A field boundary now crosses the site, leaving a platform about 20 metres from north to south along the hedgerow.

Situated on a break in a NE-facing slope in rolling pastureland with another possible ringfort (TN013-011) c. 40m to the NW. Indicated as a circular enclosure defined by a bank on the 1st ed. OS 6-inch map and as a roughly circular hachured area on the latest ed. The site has been levelled but slight remains are indicated by a break in the slope and the remains of a curving scarp. A field boundary now crosses the field and transects the site. The platform is c. 20m N-S along the hedgerow which is a smaller diameter than would be expected from its depiction on the latest ed. OS 6-inch map. 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).
