What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Cloghmartin is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Cloghmartin, County Tipperary, Ireland. It occupies a south-facing hill slope in undulating reclaimed pasture. Leveling has reduced the site, yet a 2.2 metre wide bank remains visible around a 32 metre circular area. The bank is less evident to the east, and a north-east to south-west gravel roadway cuts through its top in the north-west quadrant.
