What is recorded here

Unlocated 17th century fortifications around the town of thurles which were constructed in 1690-91(Loeber 1979, 299) but Kerrigan suggests that these were only temporary defences, built to protect garrisons stationed in the town during this period (Kerrigan 1980, 149). 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
