Enclosure

What is recorded here

Situated on a NE-facing slope of rising ground in slightly undulating countryside. Only the S half of the site survives. Originally the site consisted of a small circular area (diam. 21m N-S approx.) enclosed by an earth and stone bank (Wth 1.7m; ext. H 1m; int. H 0.2m) now destroyed from W through N to E and an outer fosse (Wth 5m). No entrance feature visible. 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.
