What is recorded here

Enclosure in Ballydrehid is an enclosure in Ballydrehid, County Tipperary, Ireland. It appears as a roughly circular cropmark about 24 metres across on an aerial photograph taken in 1974, though it is not visible at ground level today. The site lies on level ground southeast of a bungalow built around 1930, while a separate small concave enclosure formerly defined by trees stood immediately east of the garden boundary. No local tradition identifies either place as a fort.
