Enclosure in Ashleypark (ardcrony Par.)

Situated on a SE-facing slope in a wooded area. A slightly oval-shaped enclosure (TN015-043001) enclosed by a bank, and a wide, deep, outer fosse. The site has been planted with beech trees and was probably adapted slightly and reused as tree-ring. A rectangular enclosure (c. 20m x 37m), identified on an aerial photograph taken in 1974 (GSIAP, R 192/3) adjoins the ringfort to the SE. 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
