What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Kilmaloge is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Kilmaloge, County Tipperary, Ireland. It sits on a very gentle south-facing slope in gently undulating terrain, defined by a scarp 1.7 metres high across 1.8 metres and a U-shaped ditch 1.3 metres wide and 0.77 metres deep. Most of the eastern half has been destroyed by quarrying, while a north-south field boundary runs along the eastern edge. The interior, bank and ditch remain heavily overgrown with scrub, brambles and nettles despite ploughing up to the ditch edge.

On very gentle S-facing slope, under tillage, in gently undulating terrain. Monument defined by scarp (H 1.7 over 1.8m) and a U-shaped fosse (Wth 1.3m; D 0.77m).

The field in which the ringfort stands is under tillage, with ploughing up to the edge of the fosse. The interior, bank and fosse are heavily overgrown with scrub, brambles and nettles.
