What is recorded here

Situated on the W-facing slope of a steep ravine in an upland area. A raised circular area enclosed by an earth and stone bank, a wide waterlogged fosse (Wth 2m; D 2m), a wide berm (Wth 6m) and an outer bank (Wth 2.5m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 1.3m) with an external fosse (Wth 3.5m; D 1m). This is an impressive example of a bivallate ringfort but it was not possible to examine the interior of the site due to a dense cover of vegetation. 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
