Carrigaun, enclosure in County Tipperary

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed. The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.

What is recorded here

On a gentle W-facing slope, just off the crest of a hill, in pasture. It is c. 50m S of a domestic well known as 'Tobershee' and c. 50m N of a possible enclosure (TS077-098----). The monument is depicted as a circular enclosure on the 1st (1840) ed. OS 6-inch map with a public road truncating the W quadrant. On the 2nd (1906) ed. only the E half of the monument is depicted (dims. c. 63m N-S), delimited by a single bank. The enclosure has been levelled, as has the field boundary to the S. There is no visible trace of the enclosure at ground level.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record TS077-021
