What is recorded here

Enclosure in Aughnagomaun is an enclosure in Aughnagomaun, County Tipperary, Ireland. It stands in grassland atop a low hillock in flat pasture with good views in all directions, while poorly drained land lies to the southeast. The southern section contains a flat-topped platform 1.2 metres high, measuring 18 metres north to south and 9 metres east to west. A field boundary cuts across the north and east, destroying the platform on those sides, leaving it visible only from south through west to northwest.

In grassland atop low hillock in flat pasture with good views in all directions, poorly drained land to the SE. The 1st (1840) ed. 6-inch OS map suggests that the enclosure (diam. c. 38m) originally continued N of the field boundary which transects it from NW-SW. The S section of the enclosure, as indicated on the 1953-4 ed. 6-inch OS map, consists of a flat-topped platform (H 1.2m; dims. 18m N-S; 9m E-W) enclosed by a bank (base Wth 2m; top Wth 1m; int. H 0.1m; ext. H 1m) now mainly reduced to a scarp intersected by a field boundary at N and E which destroys the platfrom on these sides as a result the platform only survives from S through W to NW with traces of a shallow outer fosse (Wth 2m; ext. D 0.2m) at base of platform. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011
