What is recorded here

Situated on the summit of a low N-S ridge in undulating pastureland with a circular enclosure (TN041-053002) immediately to the SW. Depicted as a circular enclosure on the 1st ed. (1843) OS 6-inch map, however on the latest ed. (1952-3) only the N half is indicated. The site has been levelled but is still visible as a circular raised area (diam. 40m E-W) defined by a scarp (ext. H 0.56m) with a field boundary enclosing the N sector. Clearance material from the levelled ringfort has been dumped in the surviving N sector which has been fenced off and used as a dump. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Tipperary. Vol. 1 - North Tipperary' compiled by Jean Farrelly and Caimin O'Brien (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2002). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 22 September 2008
