What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Oldgrange is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Oldgrange, County Tipperary, Ireland. The 2014 source account records just over half the monument surviving above ground on a gentle southeast-facing slope, with its northwest portion levelled under tillage and no longer visible. A 1904-05 map showed a roughly circular enclosure about 36 metres north-south by 38 metres east-west. The surviving bank is largely reduced to a scarp, and at least two breaks appear in its southeast quadrant.

On a gentle SE-facing slope off crest of hill, in undulating terrain. The NW portion, which has been levelled and is no longer visible above ground, is under tillage. The SE portion is in pasture. A ringfort (TS082-070----) is situated c. 250m to the NW. Just over half the monument survives above ground, it is heavily overgrown with nettles with dead wood beneath while the banks are virtually inaccessible due to scrub, brambles and nettles. It is depicted as being a roughly circular enclosure (diam. c. 36m; N-S; c. 38m E-W) on the 1904-05 ed. OS 6-inch map. The bank is largely reduced to scarp (Wth 1.2m; int. H 0.26m; ext. H 1.07m) with a steep drop to exterior. There appear to be at least two breaks in bank in the SE quadrant. Field boundaries N and NW of the ringfort have been removed.
