What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Outeragh is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Outeragh, County Tipperary, Ireland. A roughly circular area about 25 metres north-south and 28 metres east-west occupies the crest of a broad, flat-topped ridge. A stone-rich bank defines the site, reaching 0.85 metres internally and 1.38 metres externally. The 2011 source records no visible trace of an external ditch, notes vigorous nettles at the bank's outer base, and describes the bank as reduced to a scarp from south to southwest.
