What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Rathcool is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Rathcool, County Tipperary, Ireland. It occupies the summit of a flat-topped north-south ridge, with the Clashawley river about 70 metres to the west and pasture surrounding the site. Cahill recorded in 1982 that the 33-metre-diameter oval ringfort was upstanding, in good condition and showed slight evidence of an enclosing bank. The monument has since been levelled and is no longer visible at ground level.
