Fairy fort / ringfort

What is recorded here

Fairy fort / ringfort in Inane is a fairy fort or ringfort in Inane, County Tipperary, Ireland. A possible double-ringed enclosure occupied the east-facing slope of a low hillock, and the 1840 map still showed that shape before later field work removed the visible trace. The level area measured about 40 metres across, leaving only a faint bank hint at the north edge.
Possible bivallate ringfort located on the E-facing slope of a low hillock on undulating land, under tillage. Indicated on the 1st ed. (1840) OS 6-inch map as a circular enclosure consisting of a double ring, but not indicated on subsequent 1901-5 ed. The site has been levelled and but may have been located on a natural scarp in the field which provides a level area (diam. c. 40m) and appears to have a slight hint of a bank at N. Cropmark of bivallate ringort (TN017-089----) 180m to NE.
