What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Knockgraffon is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Knockgraffon, County Tipperary, Ireland. The roughly circular site spans 22 metres north-south and 24 metres east-west, bounded by a 9.5-metre-wide earthen bank that rises 0.7 metres internally and 1.05 metres externally. A 7.5-metre-wide external ditch drops 0.3 metres below the surrounding ground, though ploughing has reduced its profile on the northeast, east and south-southwest sides. The ditch remains clearer from south-southwest through west and north to northeast, but field boundaries cut its outer edge where they touch the west and north.

In fallow arable land, on N-facing slope, in NW corner of field. Roughly circular area (dims. 22m N-S; 24m E-W) defined by earthen bank (Wth 9.5m; int. H 0.7m; ext. H 1.05m). External fosse (Wth 7.5m; D 0.3m) is low profile NE-E-SSW due to ploughing and is best preserved SSW-W-N-NE, although outer edge is truncated by field boundaries at tangent to W and N. Interior is N-facing and covered in dense undergrowth. Enclosure (TS068-107----) c. 120m to NNW and ringfort (TS068-102----) c. 270m to WNW. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011
