What is recorded here

Rathduff is a circular ringwork on a broad ridge in County Tipperary, its steep earthen scarp still rising two metres above the pasture. The entrance has vanished, but a rectangular shadow near the northern edge hints that a building once stood inside. Perhaps a keeper lived there, watching the road below and the open sky beyond.

On top of summit of a broad E-W orientated ridge in undulating pasture. A NW-SE orientated road lies 8m to the S of the ringfort. Circular raised area (diam. 24m) defined by a steeply sloping earthen scarp (Wth 2-3.5m; H 2.3m). The original entrance is not recognisable. The interior is level and clear of overgrowth. A slight roughly rectangular depression (TS058-029001-), which may be the remains of a building, is located immediately within the upper break of slope of the scarped edge at N.
