What is recorded here
Situated on a natural hillock on poorly drained land in undulating countryside. A raised rectangular area (dims. 28m NW-SE) enclosed by an earth and stone bank (Wth 2m; int. H 0.25m; ext. H 1m) and external fosse (Wth 2.5m; D 0.5m). The interior is heavily overgrown making detailed examination impossible. Possibly a moated site although the depiction on the OS 6-inch map indicates a possible nineteenth-century enclosure.
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.
