What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Rosegreen is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Rosegreen, County Tipperary, Ireland. Its roughly circular area measures 26.5 metres north to south and east to west, enclosed by a bank reduced to a scarp along the east-northeast to east-southeast edge. Either a southern breach or a northwestern breach may be the original entrance. The 2011 source records an external ditch truncated by a field boundary and quarry, plus a possible outer bank from west-northwest to north-northwest.

H 2.1m) reduced to scarp in places, particularly along the slightly straightened edge ENE-E-ESE. Breach (Wth 3.5m) at S and breach (Wth 4.0m) at NW of which either could conceivably be the original entrance. External fosse (Wth 4.7m; D 0.4m) is visible in places, although is truncated by field boundary ENE-E-S-SSW and also by a quarry WSW-WNW. Possible outer bank (Wth 3.6m; int. H 1.0m; ext. H 0.6m) WNW-NNW. Possible motte (TS069-037----) and church and graveyard (TS069-036---- and TS069-036001-) c. 330m to SSW. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011
