What is recorded here

Situated on a break in a S-facing slope in pastureland. An irregular-shaped enclosure (diam. 36m N-S; 35.5m E-W), poorly preserved and defined by a low bank (Wth 2.9m; int. H 0.35m; ext. H 0.36m), badly damaged by cattle along the E side and reduced to a scarp at S with a shallow, poorly defined external fosse (Wth 3.1m; ext. H 0.41). The N, W and S sides of the enclosure are straight, however, the shape is somewhat different from that depicted on the 1st ed. OS 6-inch map. Vol. 1 - North Tipperary' compiled by Jean Farrelly and Caimin O'Brien (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2002).
