What is recorded here

The fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Rossacrow (Aghacrew parish) is in County Tipperary, Ireland. Its slightly raised area measures 21 metres southeast to northwest on a south-southwest-facing slope. A poorly preserved earth-and-stone bank, reduced to a scarp in places, and a 2.5-metre outer ditch enclose it. The source records no visible entrance feature and says the eastern bank was destroyed where an old roadway and field boundary crossed the monument.
