What is recorded here

A ringfort was uncovered durng excavation by Donald Murphy in the year 2000. The site consisted of a circular area defined by a ditch (dims. Wth 2.4m; 0.9m D) with a small Man-made underground passage (TN020-152004) in the centre of the ringfort. The site has been partially cut by the southern field boundary and by the modern N11 Nenagh-Limerick road. The interior of the ringfort contained a number of small pits, some of which contained fragments of burnt clay and iron slag, suggesting that some industrial activity took place on the site (Bennett 2002, 326).

A fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Tullahedy, likely dating to the early medieval period, was uncovered in 2000 by Donald Murphy. It featured a circular ditch and a small man-made underground passage, and local folklore may associate it with supernatural or fairy activity, as is common with such sites in Irish tradition.
