Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Kyle (rahelty Par.)

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

Situated on a very gentle SW-facing slope in gently undulating lush pastureland. The site was levelled c. 13 years ago but is still visible as a raised oval area (diam. 39.2m N-S; 35m E-W) defined by a gradually sloping scarp (H 1.07m) and a very shallow outer fosse (Wth c. 4m). No visible trace of an entrance feature. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Tipperary. Vol. 1 - North Tipperary' compiled by Jean Farrelly and Caimin O'Brien (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2002). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 22 September 2008

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed. The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
