(1843) OS 6-inch map but not shown on the 1952-3 ed. Not visible at ground level. The field boundary (Wth 1.2m; H 0.67m) to the W curves out to accommodate the former site. The field boundary to the N may be on the line of the N bank of the enclosure. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Tipperary.
