What is recorded here

Enclosure in Attybrick is an enclosure in Attybrick, County Tipperary, Ireland. It lies hidden beneath pasture on a southwest-facing slope that was once a quarry. The 1904 edition OS 6-inch map draws an oval enclosure measuring about 40 metres northwest to southeast and 32 metres northeast to southwest, while a 1974 aerial photograph reveals a circular feature with a smaller circular anomaly to the east-southeast. Local information claims a fort occupied this field and may have been levelled when surrounding boundaries were removed during the 1960s.
