What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Poulaculleare is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Poulaculleare, County Tipperary, Ireland. The oval enclosure measures 38.3 metres north-south and 30.3 metres east-west, bounded by an earthen and stone bank 1.7 metres wide at the crest and 3.8 metres at the base. The bank stands 0.72 metres high inside and 1.1 metres high outside, remains pronounced on the east side, and has been somewhat truncated on the west side where it serves as a field boundary. Stone revetting survives on the external face in the northeast and west quadrants, a post and wire fence crosses the west bank, and a gap about 3 metres wide in the south quadrant may be the original entrance.

On a W-facing slope, near the crest of a gently sloping ridge, in undulating pastureland. This oval area (diam. 38.3m N-S; 30.3m E-W) is defined by an earthen and stone bank (Wth 1.7m crest, 3.8m base; int. H 0.72m; ext. H 1.1m) which is quite pronounced on the E side, but has been somewhat truncated on the W side where it serves as a field boundary. Stone revetting survives on the external face of the bank in the NE and W quadrants. The interior is clean of vegetation, except for a clump of brambles in the SE quadrant. There are some mature oak trees growing on the bank. The W bank is surmounted by post and wire fencing. There is a gap in the bank in the S quadrant (Wth c. 3m) which may be the orginal entrance.
