Enclosure in Lyonstown, County Tipperary

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.

What is recorded here

On SE facing slope in undulating terrain under pasture. Depression at base of slope would appear to be a largely filled-in quarry with a lot of soil and cleared vegetation dumped around the edge. Monument is indicated on the 1st (1840) ed. OS 6-inch map as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 30m). Enclosure probably levelled between 1840, when it was indicated on the 1st ed. OS 6-inch map and 1906 when the map is not indicated on the OS 6-inch map. Not visible at ground level.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record TS069-009
