What is recorded here

Enclosure in Coolaholloga is an enclosure in Coolaholloga, County Tipperary, Ireland. The 2000 excavation revealed a U-shaped ditch 2 metres wide and 0.7 metres deep that belonged to a D-shaped enclosure. A rotary quern and a possible rubbing stone recovered from the ditch fill suggest a medieval date. A gap measuring 3.5 metres by 1.5 metres in the north-western section of the ditch probably functioned as an entrance.
