What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Rathnasliggeen is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Rathnasliggeen, County Tipperary, Ireland. Its circular area measures 32 metres north-south and east-west on a slight west-facing pasture slope. An earthen bank 3.1 metres wide at the crest and 8.1 metres at the base encloses it with a slight U-shaped ditch 3.5 metres wide and 0.2 metres deep. The 2011 source records no visible break in the bank and notes disturbance after field reclamation and bank slippage.
