What is recorded here

Enclosure in Carrigatogher (Abbott) is an enclosure in Carrigatogher (Abbott), County Tipperary, Ireland. It occupies the top of high ground in an upland area. The destroyed site preserves a circular area about 24 metres across, marked by a very low scarp that is easiest to see in the northeast. Slight traces of an external ditch appear only in that same direction, while the enclosing bank and ditch continue as a field fence from the east to the south.

Situated on top of high ground in an upland area. The barely discernible outline of a destroyed enclosure consisting of a circular area (diam. 24m approx.) defined by a very low scarp best visible at NE with slight traces of an external fosse visible at NE only.
