What is recorded here

Situated on top of a hillock in an upland area with extensive views. A low partially destroyed mound (diam. 7.7m N-S; H 0.8m) with small hollow depressions on its surface enclosed by a poorly preserved fosse (Wth 1m; ext. D 0.7m) and outer bank (Wth 1.7m; ext. H 1-1.5m) which is totally destroyed at W. Traces of a shallow external fosse are visible from N to E. 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 Neolithic long cairn, likely dating to the Early to Middle Neolithic period (c. 4000–3000 BCE). Its location on an upland hillock suggests it may have had ritual or territorial significance within the landscape.
