What is recorded here

Situated on a NE-facing slope in pastureland. Indicated as a roughly circular enclosure on both the 1st and 2nd eds. of the OS 6-inch map. The site is levelled but is delineated by a dark oval grass mark (diam. 37.5m N-S; 30.5m E-W; Wth 2-2.5m). The interior slopes to the NE. The location, size and indications on the OS 6-INCH maps suggest a possible ringfort classification. 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
