What is recorded here
Situated on flat poorly drained land in an upland area. Depicted as a small circular enclosure on the 1st ed. OS 6-inch map which was presumably converted into a quarry as depicted on latest ed. The disused quarry is evident in an area recently planted with forestry.
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.
