What is recorded here

Situated just off the crest of a S-facing slope in pastureland. Depicted as a circular enclosure on the 1st ed. OS 6-inch map. An irregularly-shaped raised area, as indicated on the 1901-05 ed. defined by a bank (Wth 3m; int. H 0.3m; ext. H 1.33m), largely reduced to a scarp and a shallow outer fosse (Wth 3.5m; D 0.15m) and counterscarp. The external face of the bank at N has a stone revetment and stone boulders protrude from the external face of the scarp at E. Possible causeway in N sector, however, boulders and stones have been dumped into the fosse here. The site is very overgrown making detailed examination impossible. 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
A local fairy fort (ringfort/rath); wider significance not recorded.
