What is recorded here

The fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Gortaderry is in County Tipperary, Ireland. It occupies a north-northeast-facing upland slope above the Cahernahallia River, with another ringfort about 200 metres to the south. The raised circular area measures about 27 metres north to south and 31 metres east to west. A poorly preserved earthen bank is clearest at the north and reduced to a scarp elsewhere, while an external ditch is best preserved from southwest to west.
