What is recorded here

The fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Garrandillon is in County Tipperary, Ireland. It occupies an oval area 32.2 metres north-south and 37.7 metres east-west on the north-facing slope of a hill in undulating pasture. A well-preserved bank encloses the site, standing 0.25 to 1.3 metres high internally and 1.4 to 2.4 metres high externally, with a 2.6 metre crest width and 7 metre base. An outer fosse 3.5 metres wide and 0.35 metres deep surrounds the bank, though bank slip makes it appear quite narrow.

On the N-facing slope of hill in undulating pasture. An oval area (diam. 32.2m N-S; 37.7m E-W) enclosed by a well-preserved bank (Wth 2.6m crest, 7m base; int. H 0.25-1.3m; ext. H 1.4-2.4m) and outer fosse (Wth 3.5m; D 0.35m). The outer fosse has a lot of bank slip making it appear quite narrow. There is an entrance (Wth 1.6-2m) downslope in the N quadrant. The bank has been somewhat denuded in the S and W quadrants by cattle. The bank reduces in internal height above the interior and increases above exterior on the NW downslope side.
