What is recorded here

The fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Woodford is in County Tipperary, Ireland. The 2011 source describes a slightly raised circular area measuring 36 metres north-south and 35 metres east-west in flat grassland, enclosed by an earth-and-stone bank best preserved from west to north. It records the bank as reduced to a scarp elsewhere, with an outer ditch visible only at the south and a possible five-metre entrance gap at the north. The same account places rectangular building footings against the bank in the western quadrant and rubble from another building at the centre, possibly nineteenth-century structures associated with Woodford House.
