Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

Rathacokera is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Milltown More, County Tipperary, Ireland. It occupies an elevated area bisected by a road, with arable land to the north and a margin of pasture to the south. Although an 1840 map depicted an oval area and a 1974 aerial photograph showed a roughly circular area of differential growth with a long axis running west-northwest to east-southeast, no visible surface trace remains.
