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 pastureland, about 60 metres northwest of a possible ringfort. It is no longer visible at ground level because the area has been levelled. The break in the slope may have acted as a natural platform, while the rising ground to the southwest may have formed part of a bank.

Situated on a break in a NE-facing slope in pastureland with a possible ringfort site (TN013-011) c. 60m to the SE. Not shown on the 1st ed. OS 6-inch map and depicted as a circular hachured area on the latest ed. The site has been levelled with no visible trace at ground level. It is likely that the site utilised the break in slope as a natural level platform and the rise in slope to the SW to form part of a bank.
