What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Roolagh is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Roolagh, County Tipperary, Ireland. Its circular area measures 30 metres north to south. The 2002 inventory records a poorly preserved 1.5-metre-wide earthen bank, mainly reduced to a scarp, with a 5-metre ditch and a 3.5-metre external bank. Dense vegetation prevented examination during that survey.

Situated in flat pasture in an upland area with a nearby ringfort (TN025-018) to the SW. A circular area (diam. 30m N-S) enclosed by a poorly preserved earthen bank (Wth 1.5m; ext. H 1m) which has been mainly reduced to a scarp, a wide fosse (Wth 5m) and an external bank (Wth 3.5m; ext. H 0.4m). A dense cover of vegetation made examination of the site impossible. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Tipperary. Vol. 1 - North Tipperary' compiled by Jean Farrelly and Caimin O'Brien (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2002). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 22 September 2008
