What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Killoskehan is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Killoskehan, County Tipperary, Ireland. The circular area measured twenty metres from north to south and enclosed two earth and stone banks with an intervening ditch. A possible entrance gap three metres wide opened at the east on the steep east-facing slope. Ploughing removed the surface trace, so the features are not visible at ground level today.

Situated on a steep E-facing slope of rising ground in a mountainous area. A recently ploughed-out site described by Stout (1984, 66-7) as a circular area (diam. 20m N-S) enclosed by two earth and stone banks with intervening fosse with possible entrance gap (Wth 3m) at E. Not visible at ground level. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Tipperary. Vol. 1 - North Tipperary' compiled by Jean Farrelly and Caimin O'Brien (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2002). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 22 September 2008
