What is recorded here

Situated on an E-facing slope in undulating pastureland. Depicted as an oval-shaped enclosure on the 1st (1840) and current (1901-05) ed. OS 6-inch maps. The levelled site is now enclosed by field boundaries forming a roughly oval-shaped area (diam. 41.6m N-S; 45.6m E-W) which is raised above the surrounding ground level, with traces of a bank (Wth 3.6m; H 0.1m) at N, parallel to the field boundary. Known locally as 'Lisheen'. 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
