Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

Situated on the lower NE-facing slope of a high ridge on a fairly steep incline. Depicted as a circular enclosure on the 1st ed. (1843) OS 6-inch map but not indicated on the 1904 ed. The site has been levelled but the outline of a circular area (diam. c. 23m E-W) defined by a bank (Wth c. 3m; H 0.4m) and outer fosse (Wth c. 3m) is still visible. 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
