What is recorded here

The fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Gortaderry is in County Tipperary, Ireland. It stands on high ground with extensive views in undulating countryside, about 200 metres south of another ringfort. The poorly preserved site contains a circular area 39.7 metres north-south and 38.9 metres east-west, enclosed by a degraded earth and stone bank 1.2 metres wide. An outer bank visible from southeast through south to west is probably a later field bank enclosing the ringfort on that side only.

On top of high ground with good extensive views in undulating countryside with a ringfort (TS050-003---) c. 200m to the N. A poorly preserved ringfort consisting of a circular area (diam. 39.7m N-S; 38.9m E-W) enclosed by a much degraded earth and stone bank (Wth 1.2m ; ext. H 0.3m; int. H 0.2m) which has been reduced to a scarp in places. An outer bank visible from SE through S to W is probably a later field bank enclosing the ringfort on this side only. A field boundary, which intersected the monument from E to N on a NW-SE axis as depicted on the 2nd (1906) ed. OS 6-inch map, has been removed. A depression in the interior may represent disturbance associated with a trigonometric station which is depicted on the 2nd ed. OS 6-inch map.
