What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Glenreagh More is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Glenreagh More, County Tipperary, Ireland. It occupies a south-facing slope in undulating pastureland, enclosing a circular area 34.4 metres across. An earth and stone bank, a wide flat-bottomed ditch and an outer bank surround the interior, while a five-metre gap in the eastern quadrant provides entry. The outer bank contains substantial stone and shows internal revetment, although it has been levelled at the southwest and the whole site remains very overgrown.
