What is recorded here
Situated on a slight break in the SW-facing lower slope of a hill, in pasture. Depicted as a small circular enclosure on the 1st and latest ed. OS 6-inch maps. The site has been levelled, however a slight hollow (diam. c. 27m E-W) may indicate the former interior. Adjacent field boundaries to the N and E remain intact.
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.
