What is recorded here

Settlement deserted is a settlement deserted (medieval) in Cloone, County Tipperary, Ireland. The 2002 inventory described undulating upland countryside east of the River Suir, where a destroyed castle left the foundations of a square bawn and moat beside a contemporary field system. Small square fields were divided by low grass-covered earth and stone banks, with a possible north-south roadway extending from the castle site toward them, but no house platforms appeared.

Situated in undulating countryside in an upland area with the River Suir to the E. The site consists of the foundations of a square bawn and moat with a destroyed castle site (TN029-075001/002) and associated field system which appears to be contemporary with the castle site. The area is divided up into small square fields delimited by a low grass-covered earth and stone banks with a possible roadway extending N-S from the castle site towards the small fields. No evidence of any house platforms. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Tipperary. Vol. 1 - North Tipperary' compiled by Jean Farrelly and Caimin O'Brien (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2002). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 22 September 2008
