What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Knockgraffon is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Knockgraffon, County Tipperary, Ireland. It occupied a southwest-facing slope in undulating tillage. A map and a 1970 aerial photograph recorded a circular bank with an irregular outer bank that may have been a later field boundary. The ringfort was subsequently levelled and survives only as a cropmark on later aerial photographs.

On a SW-facing slope in undulating terrain, under tillage. Levelled enclosure (diam. c. 30m) (TS075-021003-) located c. 50m to NW and possible field boundary (TS075-021002-), also levelled, running NE-SW immediately E of the ringfort. Ringfort is hachured on the 2nd (1901-05) ed. OS 6-inch map and appears on an aerial photograph (CUCAP July 1970 BDR) as a circular bank with outer, irregular bank which could be a later field boundary as depicted on the 2nd ed. OS 6-inch map. The ringfort was subsequently levelled and appears on a cropmark on a later aerial photograph (ASIAP (31) 13 (c. 1998); GB89.AA.22 16 July 1989). It is not visible at ground level.
