Enclosure in Parkstown

Enclosure

What is recorded here

Located on a gentle S-facing slope in very undulating terrain with a nearby ringfort site (TN047-075) to the N. Marked as a circular enclosure on the 1st (1843) and 1952-3 ed. OS 6-inch map. The site, which is transected by a hedgerow running N-S, has been levelled but is barely visible as the faint low outline of a bank (ext. H 0.24m) forming the W half of the site (c. 27.5m N-S; 16.8m E-W). No visible trace of the site E of the hedgerow. 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. Date of upload/revision: 22 September 2008

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed. The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
