What is recorded here
Situated on the W-facing slope of an undulating ridge in pastureland. A roughly circular platform (13.5m N-S; 15m E-W) defined by a scarp with no other features visible. The interior is covered by field clearance stones and trees. A mound of earth and stone (H 0.55m) with a slight fosse to the S appears to be a modern feature.
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.
