What is recorded here
The fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Rossaguile (Kilnarath parish) is in County Tipperary, Ireland. It occupies high ground in an upland area beside another ringfort to the east. A barely discernible circular area 23 metres wide from north to south is defined by a scarp, with slight evidence of a possible entrance gap at the south. Ploughing probably caused the severe erosion that reduced the site to this faint form.
