What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Moanmore (Solloghodmore parish) is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Moanmore (Solloghodmore parish), County Tipperary, Ireland. The westernmost of three nearby ringforts, it forms an ovoid raised area 20 metres northwest to southeast and 14 metres northeast to southwest, defined by a gently sloping earthen scarp. A broad flat-bottomed outer ditch encloses every side but is very shallow and barely visible from south-southwest to north. From the southeast side, a broad shallow linear ditch runs northwest to southeast for 10 metres and links it to the neighbouring ringfort's ditch.

In gently undulating pasture. This is the westernmost of a group of three ringforts with a second ringfort (TS058-017001-) located 20m to the E and a third (TS058-017002-) 10m to the SE. Ovoid raised area (dims. 20m NW-SE; 14m NE-SW) defined by a gently sloping earthen scarp (Wth 3m; H 0.65m) with an external broad flat-bottomed fosse (overall Wth 3.9m; Wth at base 2m; D 0.15m). The fosse encloses all sides and is best preserved N-SSW being very shallow and barely visible SSW-N. A broad shallow NW-SE orientated linear fosse (L 10m; overall Wth 8m; D 0.2m) extents from the fosse of the ringfort at SE linking to the fosse of the neighbouring ringfort (TS058-017002-) to the SE.
