What is recorded here
Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Kedrah is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Kedrah, County Tipperary, Ireland. It occupies a roughly circular area 29.3 metres north-south and 32 metres east-west, enclosed by a stony bank with a 4-metre-wide gap in the east-south-east quadrant that may be the original entrance. The bank is denuded from the northwest to the north-north-east, and its outer face is eroded in places in the south quadrant.
On level break of slope, c. 50m E of a henge (TS075-039----), in rough pasture. Roughly circular area (diam. 29.3m N-S; 32m E-W) enclosed by a bank (Wth 3.1m crest, 5.7m base; int. H 0.65m; ext. H 1.58m) which has stone protruding, particularly at the crest. There is a gap (Wth 4m) in the ESE quadrant which may be the original entrance though it has probably been widened. The bank is denuded from the NW to NNE and the outer face of the bank in the S quadrant is eroded in places.
