What is recorded here

Situated on a SE-facing slope of rising ground overlooking a steep-sided ravine with a river below. A raised circular area (diam.25.65m NW-SE; 29.45m NE- SW) enclosed by well-preserved flat-topped bank (Wth 3m; int. H 0.65m; ext. H 2m) reduced to a scarp at SE where the ravine forms a natural defence and a wide external fosse (Wth 3.5-5m; D 0.8m). No clear entrance feature visible - a gap in the bank (Wth 2m) at N may be the original entrance feature. 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
