Enclosure

What is recorded here

Situated on a natural rise of ground in undulating countryside. A circular area (diam. 12.5m E-W) enclosed by an earth and stone bank (Wth 1.85m; int. H 0.7m; ext. H 0.4m) with no entrance feature visible. Top soil has been removed from the surface of the bank revealing large amounts of stone in the bank construction. 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

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed. The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
