What is recorded here
Located at the base of a SE-facing slope in undulating terrain. A stream running roughly E-W was formerly adjacent to the S half of the site. Depicted as a circular enclosure on the 1st ed. (1843) OS 6-inch map but not indicated on the 1904 ed. Adjacent field boundaries have changed between the two map eds. and presumably the site was levelled when the field boundaries were altered. The site is transected by an E-W field boundary with no visible trace of the site S of this. The N half is discernible as a raised area (diam. c. 40m) surrounded by a fosse (Wth c. 4m; D 0.3m).
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.
