What is recorded here

The fairy fort or stone ringfort in Carneywoodlands is in County Tipperary, Ireland. It occupies slightly elevated flat pasture with extensive views. A circular area measuring 37 metres from north to south is enclosed by a drystone wall of recent appearance, standing 1 metre high and 0.5 metres thick. Low wall-footings inside this later structure mark the possible line of the original cashel wall, and the site has been recorded as a possible cashel reused as a tree-ring. The interior rock outcrop shows signs of quarrying.
