What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Kilfeakle Churchquarter is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Kilfeakle Churchquarter, County Tipperary, Ireland. It occupies a circular area measuring 30 metres north-south and 29 metres east-west on an east-facing slope. A wide bank and deep ditch define the main enclosure, while a possible outer bank remains visible on the east side from east-northeast to south-southeast. A level step appears on the interior bank in several places, but dense briars obscure it elsewhere.

In good pasture, on an E-facing slope. Circular area (dims. 30m N-S; 29m E-W) defined by a bank (Wth 11.55m-11.7m; int. H 0.4-0.8m; ext. H 2.7-3.9m) and fosse (Wth 11.5m; D 1.85m) which is deepest S-W-N and wider, yet shallow (Wth 14.7; D 0.2m) N-E-S. There are the remains of a possible outer bank (Wth 12.6m; int. H 0.2m; ext. H 0.5m) ENE-SSE. A level step (Wth 2.5m) is noted on the interior of the bank from ESE-SE and W-WNW and is defined by a scarp (Wth 0.9m; H 0.2m) falling into the interior. It is obscured elsewhere due to a dense growth of briars. There is a possible entrance (Wth 3.75m) at the E. The interior has an E-facing slope and is covered with tussocks.
