What is recorded here

Situated on a natural platform with ground falling fairly steeply in all directions except to W, in an area of rough pasture. Depicted as an irregular-shaped enclosure on the 1st ed. (1840) OS 6-inch map but not indicated on the 1905 ed. The area where the enclosure was located is quite disturbed and uneven with a suggestion of lazy bed cultivation and the remains of a bank along portion of the W side - this appears to be part of an old field bank. Not visible at ground level. Vol. 1 - North Tipperary' compiled by Jean Farrelly and Caimin O'Brien (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2002).
