What is recorded here

Indicated, Raheenbeg is a ringwork castle on a natural grassland rise in County Tipperary, Ireland. Its broad platform still stands above the surrounding field, marked by a shallow scarp and an old quarry cut into the south quadrant. The view stretches in every direction, suggesting the site was chosen to be seen before it was meant to hide.
