What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Carrigeensharragh is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Carrigeensharragh, County Tipperary, Ireland. It stood on a steep south-facing slope above the River Moyle as a small circular enclosure thirty metres across, defined by a bank and ditch. A visitor in 1982 found it in fair condition, but the landowner levelled it before 1994, removing every visible trace at ground level.

On a steep S-facing slope in undulating terrain, with River Moyle at base of S slope. No visible trace at ground level, it was levelled by the landowner before 1994. The ringfort was visited in 1982 when it was described as a 'small circular enclosure' in fair condition defined by a bank and ditch (diam. 30m) (Cahill 1982). On the 2nd (1906) ed. OS 6-inch map earthworks are shown running roughly E-W directly above the N quadrant of the monument, though these have also been levelled, they appear to be part of a trackway (TS077-118----).
