What is recorded here
Situated in reclaimed pasture on the W-facing slope of a low hillock in an area of fairly level terrain. A possible standing stone (TN023-066) is visible on a hillock to the SSE. According to Stout (1984, 46) the site was levelled in the 1960s or 1970s. The outline of the site cannot be clearly discerned - a gentle semicircular rise on the S side is all that remains visible. The site appears to have been c. 30m in diameter.
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.
