What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Neddans (nagle) is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Neddans (nagle), County Tipperary, Ireland. The 1840 map drew a roughly circular enclosure about 28 metres north-south and 24 metres east-west, while the 1907 map showed a curving bivallate form whose east side appeared truncated by a field boundary. The 25-inch map recorded only the western half, with an inner bank about 25 metres across internally, a wide ditch and an outer bank reaching about 44.5 metres overall. The 2013 source account records no visible remains above ground and relays the landowner's statement that the site was levelled in 1984.
