What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Lisbrien is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Lisbrien, County Tipperary, Ireland. It occupies an east-facing slope of rising ground in an upland area where other ringforts stand to the northwest and south. A slightly raised circular area about 23 metres across is enclosed by a poorly preserved bank 2 metres wide and 1 metre high on both sides, though the bank is reduced to a scarp at the east and quarried in places. Dense scrub covers the site and makes detailed examination impossible.
