What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Glenreagh Beg is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Glenreagh Beg, County Tipperary, Ireland. It sits on the west-facing slope of a hill in pasture, enclosed by a broad earthen bank, a shallow ditch and a field boundary that may have been an original outer bank. Scrub and brambles hide the interior, so its internal diameter cannot be measured, and no entrance feature is visible.
