What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Glenreagh More is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Glenreagh More, County Tipperary, Ireland. The circular enclosure spans about 25 metres and sits on a southwest-facing slope. A bank is visible only at the south, while the rest of the circuit has reduced to a 1.86-metre-high scarp. Nettles, scrub and discarded clearing material obscure the edge and hide a possible outer ditch.

Situated on a SW-facing slope in gently undulating terrain. The site is heavily overgrown with nettles and scrub and scrub cleared from around the edge has been left up against the outer face of the bank making access difficult. A circular area (diam. c. 25m) enclosed by a bank visible at S only, elsewhere reduced to a scarp (H 1.86m). A possible outer fosse indicated on the latest ed. (1952-3) OS 6-inch map is obscured by dumps of clay, dead wood and nettles. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Tipperary.
