Moated site

What is recorded here

Situated in a slight narrow valley in an upland area on a NE-facing slope. A raised square-shaped area (dims. 18m NE-SW; 18.5m NW-SE) enclosed by a well-preserved earth and stone bank (Wth 3m; int. H 1m; ext. H 2.5m) and wide flat-bottomed waterlogged fosse (Wth 3-4m; D 1.3m). No entrance feature visible. A stream intersects the fosse at NW and runs from NW through N to E where it exits the fosse. 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
