What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Attykit is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Attykit, County Tipperary, Ireland. It occupies a low rise in gently undulating pasture, enclosing an oval area 43 metres north-south and 48 metres east-west. An earthen bank 3.8 metres wide surrounds this space, standing 0.45 metres high inside and 0.5 metres high outside, though cattle erosion has reduced parts of it to a 3.2 metre wide scarp 0.3 metres high. A possible entrance 3.5 metres wide opens at the west, while the interior slopes gently downward toward the east.

In gently undulating pasture on top of low rise. Oval area (dims. 43m N-S; 48m E-W) defined by earthen bank (Wth 3.8m; int. H 0.45m; ext. H 0.5m) reduced to scarp (Wth 3.2m; H 0.3m) in places. Possible entrance (Wth 3.5m) at W. Bank intermittently eroded by cattle. Interior has gentle E-facing downslope.
