What is recorded here

The fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Gortaknockeare is in County Tipperary, Ireland. It occupies a gentle north-facing pasture slope, forming a circular area roughly 28 metres north to south and 30 metres east to west. An earthen bank, 3.4 metres wide and rising 1.5 metres externally, circles the site from east through south and west to east-northeast, leaving a possible 4-metre entrance at the east. Trees cover most of the bank, but erosion exposes the exterior at the east-northeast, while a standing stone marks the northwestern edge of the surrounding ditch.
