What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Poulatar is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Poulatar, County Tipperary, Ireland. On a natural rise in undulating pastureland, the roughly circular enclosure measures about 35 metres north-south and 34.5 metres east-west. Its bank stands 0.4 metres high internally and 0.93 metres high externally. The source records stone facing on the bank's outer face in the northwest quadrant and says dense scrub obscured any entrance feature.
