What is recorded here

Enclosure in Rathanny is an enclosure in Rathanny, County Tipperary, Ireland. The source records it within the 15th green of Tipperary Golf Club, known as the “Fairy hole,” where landscaping formed an oval platform measuring 34 metres north-south, with a second recorded dimension of 21.5 metres. A scarp 1.5 metres high and 6 metres wide defines that platform, with a hollow immediately east. The 1840 map shows a larger 47-metre northwest-southeast by 30-metre northeast-southwest oval; the 1954 map records a scarp and outer fosse on its south-west-north side but leaves the east side unmarked beside a 20-metre circular hollow.
