What is recorded here
Situated on a natural rise in undulating pastureland. Depicted on both the 1st and latest ed. OS 6-inch maps as a slightly irregular circular enclosure with field boundaries running along E and SW quadrants, possibly truncating them. The site was levelled c. 50 years ago but because of superstition the area where the 'fort' stood has been left fallow. Not visible at ground level.
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.
