What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Knockroe (Moycarky parish) is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Knockroe (Moycarky parish), County Tipperary, Ireland. A 1952-3 map showed a large, roughly circular enclosure that appears to have had two banks on the southwest-facing slope of a gentle rise. The archaeological account recorded the site as completely levelled and occupied by a large silage pit and sheds. The farmer said the sheds had been built about ten years earlier.
