What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Bartoose is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Bartoose, County Tipperary, Ireland. It occupies a slight rise on a south-southwest-facing slope in gently undulating pasture. The roughly circular site measures 22 metres north-south and 20 metres east-west, bounded by an earthen edge 5 to 6 metres wide and 1.7 to 2.4 metres high. A broad irregular ramp 9 metres wide slopes down from the interior on the south side, marking the likely original entrance.

On top of a slight rise, on a slight SSW-facing slope, in gently undulating pasture. Roughly circular raised area (dims. 22m N-S; 20m E-W) defined by an earthen scarped edge (Wth 5-6m; H 1.7-2.4m) that has been cut back and straightened off at NE-E where a NW-SE orientated farm track abuts the edge of the ringfort. The original entrance appears to be on the S side where a broad irregular ramp (Wth 9m) slopes down from the interior. The interior slopes slightly facing S and is clear of overgrowth.
