Cromlech (site of)

Megalithic structure

What is recorded here

This feature, removed sometime prior to 1884 (OS Name Book, 1904) stood on wettish ground close to the foot of Knocknabansha Hill. There are no known accounts of it. The name 'Cromlech' applied to it on the original OS 6-inch map would suggest that it may have been a megalithic tomb. (De Valera and Ó Nualláin 1982, 98, No.8) 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
