Enclosure in Brittas (thurles Par.)

Located on a gentle N-facing slope on a slight rise which slopes down to the River Suir, immediately N of the site. Marked as a small oval enclosure defined by trees on the 1st ed. (1843) OS 6-inch map and as a small hachured enclosure on 1952-3 revision. Clearly visible as an oval enclosure on an aerial photograph taken in 1973 (GSIAP, S 463/2). There are some undulations in the area but no definable pattern emerges. 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
