What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Jordansquarter is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Jordansquarter, County Tipperary, Ireland. It stands on a break in the southeast-facing slope of a hill in pasture. Mapping showed a full circle in 1843 but only the western half in 1904. Levelling removed most surface evidence, yet scorched yellow grass still marks a 5.5-metre-wide western band within a 35-metre north-south semicircle.

Situated on a break in the SE-facing slope of a hill, in pasture. A circular enclosure depicted on the 1st (1843) ed. OS 6-inch map, with only the W half depicted on the 1904 ed. The site has been levelled although the W half is traceable as scorched/yellow grass (Wth 5.5m) forming a semicircular area (diam. 35m N-S). The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Tipperary. Vol. 1 - North Tipperary' compiled by Jean Farrelly and Caimin O'Brien (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2002).
