What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Jordansquarter is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Jordansquarter, County Tipperary, Ireland. It occupied the lower northwest-facing slope of a hill where a slight break in the ground marked the enclosure. The 1843 map showed a circular boundary with a field line along the southwest quadrant, but the 1904 map omitted the northeast quadrant. Levelled pasture now covers the site, leaving no visible trace at ground level.
