What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Patrickswell (Inishlounaght parish) is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Patrickswell (Inishlounaght parish), County Tipperary, Ireland. It occupies a natural platform on an east-facing slope and forms a circular enclosure 27.5 metres north-south and 28.7 metres east-west. A broad bank 2.1 metres wide at the top and 5.5 metres at the base stands above a shallow ditch 3.2 metres wide and 0.24 metres deep. The source records partial levelling, a more denuded western bank and a 4.2-metre entrance at the north-northwest.

On a natural platform on an E-facing slope in undulating terrain, with a natural fall to the S. A circular enclosure (diam. 27.5m N-S; 28.7m E-W) enclosed by a broad bank (Wth 2.1m top; 5.5m base; H above int. 0.26m; H above fosse 0.34m) and shallow fosse (Wth 3.2m; D 0.24m). The enclosure appears to have been partially levelled giving the bank a flattened appearance and the bank is more denuded in the W sector. There is an entrance in the NNW (Wth 4.2m). A line of beech trees run roughly N-S immediately W of the possible ringfort and a driveway has been built W of and parallel to the beech trees.
