What is recorded here

The fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Ballycapple is in County Tipperary, Ireland. It occupies a northeast facing pasture slope where the north side joined a field boundary and the south side keeps a slight curving rise. The surviving shape measures about 30 to 35 metres across.

Situated on a NE-facing slope in pasture. The site is indicated on the 1st ed. OS 6-inch map as a roughly oval area defined by two concentric circles. On the current (1903) ed. the N side of the site is incorporated in a field boundary. Although the site is now levelled this field boundary remains and a slight curvilinear rise delineates the S portion of the site, giving an approximate diam. of 30-35m. 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).
