What is recorded here
Situated on a gentle NE-facing slope, which falls quite steeply immediately NE of site. A stream flows roughly NE-SW c. 50m N-NW of site. A deep drainage gully dug at the base of the slope to the NE diverts the flow of the stream. Indicated as a large, roughly triangular enclosure outlined by two concentric lines (banks) on the 1st ed. (1840) OS 6-inch map but not shown on the subsequent 1901-5 ed. Not visible at ground level.
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.
