What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Rehill (Shanrahan parish) is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Rehill (Shanrahan parish), County Tipperary, Ireland. It sits on a very gentle east-facing slope about 100 metres west of the Glennyreea River. A field boundary bisects the levelled site, leaving the west half visible as a low curving bank 5.4 metres wide, with a suggested ditch 6.6 metres wide and 0.48 metres deep, plus a possible outer bank 9.7 metres wide. The east half is not visible above ground, though the 1840 Ordnance Survey map marked it before the 1904-05 revision recorded its loss.

On a very gentle E-facing slope with the Glennyreea River flowing c. 100m to E, in fairly flat terrain in reclaimed pasture. This ringfort has been levelled and is bisected by a field boundary. The W half of the monument (diam. 44m N--S; 25m E-W (to field boundary) is visible as a low curving bank (Wth 5.4m; int. H 0.38m; ext. H 0.16m); with suggestion of a fosse (Wth 6.6m; D 0.48m) and possible outer bank (Wth 9.7m; ext. H 0.31). The E half of the enclosure is not visible above ground, it is indicated on the 1st (1840) ed. OS 6-inch map but had been levelled by the 1904-05 revision. The W half of the ringfort was levelled more recently, probably within the last twenty years. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 13 January 2014
