What is recorded here

In the S half of Lough Duff, currently surrounded by marsh. Not indicated on the 1st ed. OS 6-inch map, this site appears on the latest ed. as a crescent-shaped area (TN021-084001) with a causeway leading to dry land. The present shape of the site is difficult to define - it may have been cut away for turf to some extent. It is a roughly oval-shaped raised area (dims. 16.83m N-S; c. 24.4m E-W; H 1m) overgrown with hummocky tufts of grass. There is no timber apparent. The causeway, as depicted on the OS 6-inch map, extends WNW-ESE (L c. 90m; Wth 3m; H c. 0.3m). Vol. 1 - North Tipperary' compiled by Jean Farrelly and Caimin O'Brien (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2002).
