What is recorded here

Castle is an 18m ringwork in Moanmore parish, County Tipperary, where a 2.55m scarp and shallow fosse still mark a small defended chamber on an ESE-facing slope. Its western and eastern gaps suggest entry rather than endless mystery, while vegetation now swallows parts of the ridge. A person may have stood inside at dusk, listening for footsteps on the pasture beyond the ditch.

In pasture, on an ESE-facing slope. Circular area (diam. 18m) defined by scarp (Wth 5.3m; H 2.55m) which is obscured by vegetation WNW-NE and S-SW. Fosse (overall Wth 9m; basal Wth 1.9m; D 0.2m) WNW-NE and SE-SW and is obscured by vegetation S-SW. Interior has a gentle S-facing slope in N-half. Gap (Wth 3m) at W and at ESE (Wth 3.5m) where scarp is lower. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011
