What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Lisheenacloonta is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Lisheenacloonta, County Tipperary, Ireland. It occupies a gentle northwest-facing slope in an upland area and preserves a thirty-six-metre circular platform. An earth and stone bank surrounds the platform, while an external ditch cuts into the ground beside it. Dense vegetation covers the site, limiting detailed examination of these features.
