What is recorded here

Situated on a slight rise of ground in undulating countryside. All that remains is the barely discernible outline of a circular enclosure (diam. 40m E-W) which shows up clearly on aerial photographs (CUCAP, ATA 45). There is a quarry in the SW sector. The enclosure may be part of a nineteenth-centure drainage complex which occupies the entire field and is associated with the nearby big house. Vol. 1 - North Tipperary' compiled by Jean Farrelly and Caimin O'Brien (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2002).

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record TN004-027
