What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Knockphelagh is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Knockphelagh, County Tipperary, Ireland. It occupies a slightly raised circular area 27 metres across, bounded by a low broad earthen scarp 2 metres wide and 0.25 metres high. A shallow flat-bottomed external ditch surrounds the scarp, reaching 0.1 metres deep and 5 to 6 metres across overall. The ringfort appears partially levelled, explaining the low profile of these enclosing elements.

In gently undulating wet pasture. Slightly raised circular area (diam.27m) defined by a low broad earthen scarp (Wth 2m; H 0.25m) with a shallow flat-bottomed external fosse (Wth at base 3-4m; overall Wth 5-6m; D 0.1m). Ringfort appears to have been partially levelled, hence the low profile of the enclosing elements. The interior is very slightly domed and clear of overgrowth.
