What is recorded here

The fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Aughnagomaun is in County Tipperary, Ireland. It occupies an east-facing slope at the foothills of Killough Hill, where a raised platform measures 35 metres north to south and 33 metres east to west. An earth and stone bank encloses the platform, standing 1.7 metres high on the outside and 0.4 metres high on the inside. The bank is 4 metres wide at its base and 1.25 metres wide at its top, though it has reduced to a scarp from southeast through south to west.

At the foothills of Killough Hill on an E-facing slope, in pasture with good views in all directions. There is a moated site (TS047-088----) 370m to the SE. The ringfort consists of a raised platform (diam. 35m N-S; 33m E-W) enclosed by an earth and stone bank (top Wth. 1.25m; base Wth. 4m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 1.7m) reduced to a scarp from SE through S to W, with possible traces of a silted up fosse barely discernible and possible causewayed entrance gap (Wth. 1.2m) at ENE. The ringfort is in fair condition. The outer face of the bank at N has been quarried into revealing bank construction details where loose rubble appears to have been built on top of earthen foundations.
