What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Garryroan is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Garryroan, County Tipperary, Ireland. It occupies the flat crest of a ridge where the ground slopes southeast beyond the site. A substantial earthen bank encloses the roughly oval monument, measuring about 37 metres north-south and 48 metres east-west. Scrub and brambles cover the bank, preventing entry to the interior or identification of the entrance.

On the flat crest ofa ridge with the ground sloping beyond this to the SE, in tillage. There are a number of ringforts in the vicinity, the closest (TS081-013----) is c. 180m to SE but is not visible due to hedgerow. The ringfort is heavily overgrown with scrub and brambles, the interior was not accessible. The monument, which appears roughly oval on the 1st (1843) and 2nd (1906) ed. OS 6-inch map (diam. c. 37m N-S; c. 48m E-W), is enclosed by a substantial earthen bank (Wth 1.3m crest, c. 3m base; int. H 0.7m; ext. H 1.4m). There is no clear evidence of an external fosse and the entrance could not be located due to heavy vegetal cover. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 07 January 2014
