What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Kilcommon More (south) is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Kilcommon More (south), County Tipperary, Ireland. It sits just off the crest of a gentle hill on the north slope in reclaimed pastureland, fifty metres northwest of another ringfort. Maps from 1840 and 1906 showed a circular area forty-eight to fifty-five metres across, but a 1969 inspection found the ground disturbed and the low bank barely visible. No trace remains above ground except a kink in the field boundary to the northeast.

Just off the crest of a gentle hill on the N slope, in reclaimed pastureland. Ringfort (TS081-033001-) is situated 50m to the SE. The location of the ringfort is depicted as a large circular area (diam. c. 48m N-S; c. 55m E-W) of woodland on the 1st (1840) and as an earthen monument on the 2nd (1906) ed. OS 6-inch map. Monument inspected in 1969 and is described as being a denuded ringfort, possibly a tree-ring, the ground being 'trampled and disturbed' and the bank 'where visible is low, only c. 4' [1.2m] high' (OPW Correspondence Files 1969). It was included in Land Project works (ibid.). No visible trace of the ringfort above ground, a kink in the field boundary to the NE of the monument is the only remaining indication that a ringfort was present.
