What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Kilballyherberry is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Kilballyherberry, County Tipperary, Ireland. It occupies an east-facing slope of rising ground in an upland region with good views in all directions. The circular area measures 26 metres north-south and 20 metres east-west, enclosed by an earth and stone bank 2.7 metres wide at the top, 4 metres wide at the base, 0.4 metres high internally and 0.9 metres high externally. A 2-metre gap in the bank at north-northeast appears to be the result of quarrying and is not an entrance feature.
