What is recorded here

Enclosure in Crampscastle is an enclosure in Crampscastle, County Tipperary, Ireland. A low rise marks a semi-circular area 24 metres west-northwest to east-southeast and 18 metres east-northeast to west-southwest on a gentle north-facing slope. A field boundary cuts across its north side, and an angle in that boundary may represent a straightened bank. The enclosure was levelled by 1982, leaving only a slight surface trace beside a ringfort 200 metres south-southwest.
