What is recorded here

Fairy fort / ringfort in Kylebeg (Youghalarra parish) is a fairy fort or ringfort in Kylebeg (Youghalarra parish), County Tipperary, Ireland. The first edition of the 6-inch map showed a semi-circular platform earthwork on flat pasture, but later editions stopped marking it. A 1976 visit found a shallow depression no more than 30 centimetres deep immediately west of a farm trackway, which the local landowner thought might be a fort.

Situated on flat pasture in undulating countryside. Depicted on the 1st ed. OS 6-inch map as a semi-circular shaped platform type earthwork. Not indicated on subsequent editions of the OS 6-inch maps. In 1976 the site was described as 'a shallow depression no more than 30cm deep. It lies immediately west of a farm trackway' (SMR File 1976). In 1976 it was recorded that the local landowner believed that this shallow depression was possibly a 'fort' (SMR File 1976). Not visible at ground level. 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: 16 January 2012
