What is recorded here
Enclosure in Brenormore is an enclosure in Brenormore, County Tipperary, Ireland. It is a circular enclosure about 32 metres across, drawn on the 1840 and 1904 maps and set on a gentle east-facing slope in mature forestry that is being felled. A field boundary touches its east side on the 1843 map and cuts into that east sector on the current map. It is possible the monument has been levelled and is the site Keatinge wrote about in 1858-9.
In mature forestry, currently being felled, on a gentle E-facing slope. Access not gained. Depicted on 1st (1840) and 2nd (1904) ed. OS 6-inch maps as circular enclosure (diam. c. 32m). Field boundary depicted at tangent to E on 1843 map and truncating E-sector on current map. No buffer zone in forestry noted from vantage point of Sheegouna. It is possible that this monument has been levelled and is the one described by Keatinge (1858-9, 11) as 'the site of another fort (but which is now levelled)'.
