What is recorded here

The fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Clonaspoe, Clonkelly is in County Tipperary, Ireland. It occupies high ground with clear views in every direction. A circular area roughly 32 metres north-south and 35 metres east-west sits inside an earthen bank and outer ditch. The interior is now thick with bushes and conifer trees, blocking direct measurement.

On top of high ground with good views in all directions. Overgrown circular area (approx. int. diam. 32m N-S; 35m E-W) enclosed by an earthen bank and outer fosse (top Wth 2m; base Wth 2m; ext. D 0.5m), interior is covered in bushes and conifer trees making it impossible to examine or measure. It was planted as a grove of trees and used as a landscape feature for the nearby Grene Park House in the 19th century. In the Civil Survey (1654-6) this townland was called Lisnamoe (Simington 1934, vol. 2, 92) possily after this ringfort. The outer enclosing feature of the ringfort is intersected by a townland boundary at E running in a NW-SE direction. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011
