What is recorded here
Situated on a gentle S-facing slope in gently undulating land near the edge of a bog to the S of the site. Not indicated on the 1st ed. (1840) OS 6-inch map but hachured as a roughly circular raised area on the 1904 ed. Not visible at ground level.
In 2002 archaeological monitoring by Aine Richardson on a residential development site located east of the enclosure, revealed no archaeological features or deposits of archaeological significance. This monitoring was carried out under Licence No. 02E0565 (Bennett 2004, 478).
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.
