What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Loughaun (Youghalarra parish) is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Loughaun (Youghalarra parish), County Tipperary, Ireland. It occupies a low natural hillock in undulating countryside, where an earth-and-stone bank with an external ditch forms a semicircle from north through east to south. The enclosure had been destroyed outside that surviving arc, and dense vegetation made examination of the site impossible during the inspection.
