What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Dangansallagh is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Dangansallagh, County Tipperary, Ireland. It occupies a gentle northeast-facing slope about 100 metres northeast of Dangansallagh House. The circular site measures 29.3 metres across and contains an earth and stone bank 1.2 metres wide, with a shallow external ditch 1.6 metres wide that may have formed through cattle trampling. Small deciduous trees grow around the bank and inside the enclosure, while some wood and boulders have been dumped in the centre.

Situated on a gentle NE-facing slope in gently undulating pastureland c. 100m NE of Dangansallagh House. A circular area (diam. 29.3m N-S and E-W) defined by an earth and stone bank (Wth 1.2m; int. H 0.26; ext. H 0.71m) and a shallow external fosse (Wth 1.6m; ext. H 0.17m) which may be the result of cattle trampling. Small deciduous trees grow around the bank and in the interior. Some wood and boulders have been dumped in the centre of the site which appears to be a tree-ring possibly utilising an existing ringfort.
