What is recorded here
Rathbane is a fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Shanballyduff (Dangandargan parish), County Tipperary, Ireland. The circular area measures about 37 metres north to south and 36 metres east to west. A quarried scarp about 6.7 metres wide and 2.1 metres high defines the remains, but quarrying inside the site makes it difficult to separate the original monument from quarry upcast.
In pasture. Remains of modified circular area (dims. c. 37m N-S; c. 36m E-W) defined by remains of quarried scarp (Wth c. 6.7m; H c. 2.1m). Interior quarried and difficult to determine what is original monument and what is upcast from quarrying activities. 'Rathbane' on first ed. and latest ed. OS 6-inch maps and enclosed by field boundary.
