Enclosure

What is recorded here

Situated on a SW-facing slope of rising ground in an upland area with a deep ravine to the SW. A circular area (diam. 20m approx.) enclosed by an internal fosse (Wth 2.5m) and external bank (Wth 2.3m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 0.7m) with a possible entrance gap (Wth 3m) at NE. The SW sector of the site has been quarried and dense cover of vegetation on the site makes detailed examination impossible. 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
