What is recorded here

The fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Glenough Lower is in County Tipperary, Ireland. It occupies flat, poorly drained upland pasture with views in all directions. A low earth and stone bank, 1.5 to 3 metres wide, defines a slightly raised circular area 35 metres north to south. No external ditch is visible, and a possible four-metre entrance gap opens at the west. The interior was waterlogged when inspected, as was the unusually wet ground around it.

On flat poorly drained pasture in an upland region with good views in all directions. A slightly raised circular area (diam. N-S 35m) defined by a low poorly preserved earth and stone bank (Wth 1.5m-3m; int. H 0.1m; ext. H 0.25m) consisting mainly of loosely piled stones with no evidence of an external fosse. There is a possible entrance gap (Wth 4m) at the W. The interior was waterlogged at time of inspection and the area around the monument is very wet which is not typical for a ringfort.
